Detail 01
Terminator, not an adapter or cable
It plugs into the unused output on your last fixture and caps the line. It does not join two devices.

American DJTerminator 3PIN 5PIN Pack
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of DMX line terminators, one 3-pin and one 5-pin, for capping the end of a lighting data chain. Signal hygiene, not a cable.
Strong match
Who this is for
- DJs whose light chain flickers or drops cues at the far end
- Rigs mixing 3-pin and 5-pin fixtures in one run
- Long runs where the last fixture sits far from the controller
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone needing to connect fixtures — this carries no signal between units
- Single-fixture setups plugged straight into the controller
- Shoppers looking for the DMX cable itself
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
3-pin and 5-pin both included
Covers either DMX connector standard, so you are not stuck if a fixture uses the other one.
Detail 03
Sold as a pack
You get both types together rather than guessing which your rig needs before ordering.
Detail 04
Black housing
Disappears against truss and fixture bodies, which matters when the rig is visible to the room.
Detail 05
$12.99
Cheap enough to keep spares in the case; losing one mid-load-in should not cost you a show.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Only one terminator is needed per DMX run — at the very last fixture
- 02No DMX cable included; you still need the runs between fixtures
- 03Check whether your last fixture's output is 3-pin or 5-pin
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this connect two lights together?
No. It is a terminator that caps the end of a DMX chain. Fixture-to-fixture connections still need DMX cables.
02Do I need one on every fixture?
No. One goes on the open output of the last fixture in the run. Everything upstream stays connected normally.
03What is the difference between the 3-pin and 5-pin?
They are two DMX connector standards. Fixtures use one or the other, so this pack includes both and you use whichever fits.
04Will this fix flickering lights?
It can, if the flickering comes from an unterminated data line. It will not help with bad cables, addressing errors, or power issues.
