Description

This QTX adaptor connects a 3-pin male DMX plug to a 5-pin female DMX socket, letting you link lighting fixtures and control consoles that use different connector standards. If your rig mixes older and newer gear, this small cable saves you from carrying multiple cable types or hunting for the right lead on the day.

At 200mm long with a 6.5mm diameter cable, it sits neatly between your fixture and console without adding bulk to the run. DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the standard protocol for controlling stage and event lighting, and both 3-pin and 5-pin variants are common in the field. This adaptor bridges the two so signal passes through cleanly and your fixtures respond as expected.

It works well for both fixed installs and mobile event use. Keep one or two in your kit bag and you can adapt on the fly, whether you are patching into a house rig or building your own setup from mixed equipment. Simple, compact and useful to have on hand whenever connector standards do not match.
