Detail 01
3-pin DMX

Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 25-foot 3-pin DMX cable for linking lighting fixtures to a controller. Buy it if your rig needs a mid-length run between fixtures or from board to first light.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Runs between a DMX controller and a stage-left fixture position
- Chaining fixtures spaced across a wide bar or venue stage
- A spare in the gig bag when a cable fails mid-setup
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Audio signal — this is not a mic cable, despite the connector
- Short fixture-to-fixture jumps where 25 ft becomes clutter
- Fixtures using 5-pin DMX without an adapter
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
25 ft length
Long enough to cross a stage or reach truss height, short enough to avoid coiling piles at each fixture.
Detail 03
DMX rather than mic cable
Built for data impedance, not audio. Using mic cable here causes flicker and dropouts on longer chains.
Detail 04
Black jacket
Disappears against dark stage floors and truss, so runs read as less visible from the audience.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your fixtures use 3-pin or 5-pin DMX before ordering
- 02One cable links two points — a chain of fixtures needs several
- 03Terminate the last fixture in the chain to avoid signal reflection
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use this as an XLR mic cable?
Physically it will connect, but no. DMX cable is built to a different impedance for data. Swapping the two causes flicker on lights and can degrade audio.
02Will this work with non-CHAUVET fixtures?
Yes. DMX is a standard protocol, so any fixture with a 3-pin DMX input accepts it regardless of brand.
03How many fixtures can I chain with these?
The cable itself does not limit you — DMX chains commonly run dozens of fixtures. What matters is total cable length and terminating the final fixture.
04Does it work with 5-pin DMX gear?
Not directly. You need a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter, or a 5-pin cable, to connect to fixtures with 5-pin ports.
