CHAUVET DJDMX Lighting Cable 50 ft.
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 50-foot DMX control cable for linking lighting fixtures. Buy it for reach between distant fixtures or from console to first light.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Running control from a front-of-house console to the stage rig
- Linking truss-mounted fixtures spread across a wide stage
- Mobile DJs who set up in rooms of varying size
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short hops between adjacent fixtures — 50 feet becomes coil to manage
- Audio signal; DMX cable is for lighting control data
- Powering fixtures — this carries control only, not mains
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
DMX cable, not a mic cable
Built for data impedance rather than audio. Swapping in an XLR mic cable causes flicker and dropouts on long runs.
Detail 03
Black jacket
Disappears against truss, stands and dark stage floors instead of drawing the eye during a show.
Detail 04
Daisy-chain wiring
DMX runs fixture to fixture, so one cable covers one link in the chain. Count your gaps before ordering.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check whether your fixtures use 3-pin or 5-pin DMX connectors before ordering
- 02One cable equals one link in the chain — count fixtures
- 03A DMX terminator on the last fixture prevents flicker on long runs
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use a regular XLR mic cable instead?
It may work over short distances but is not built for DMX data. Long runs cause flickering and erratic fixture behavior. Use proper DMX cable.
02Does this cable power my lights?
No. It only carries control data from your console or controller. Each fixture still needs its own power connection.
03Is 50 feet too long for a small setup?
It works fine electrically, but you'll be coiling and taping down 50 feet. For fixtures a few feet apart, shorter cable is tidier.
04How many fixtures can one cable connect?
One cable connects two points in a daisy chain. Linking four fixtures from a controller takes four cables.
