Description

This QTX DMX adaptor cable converts 3-pin to 5-pin connections, so you can link lighting fixtures and control consoles that use different connector standards. One end carries a 3-pin female connector and the other a 5-pin male, letting you bridge the two without swapping out full cable runs. It suits both fixed installs and live event work.

DMX is the signal protocol that carries control data to your lighting rig, and mixing fixtures from different makers often means you meet both 3-pin and 5-pin sockets on the same setup. This adaptor solves that in one short cable, keeping signal transmission steady across the join. At 200mm long, it stays close to the connector it plugs into rather than adding a long trailing lead, which helps keep your cable runs tidy.

The cable measures 6.5mm in diameter, giving it enough body to handle repeated plugging and unplugging on the road. Keeping a couple in your kit bag means you can adapt on the spot rather than carrying multiple cable types for every possible connector combination. Whether you know it as a DMX cable or a DMX lead, the job is the same: a flexible rig that connects up quickly and holds a clean signal from console to fixture.

Frequently Asked

Which connectors does this adaptor use?

It has a 3-pin female connector on one end and a 5-pin male connector on the other, converting between the two DMX standards.

How long is the cable?

The cable is 200mm long, keeping it short so it sits close to your fixture or console without adding a long trailing lead.

Can I use this for both install and event work?

Yes. It suits fixed installs and live event setups where you need to join fixtures and consoles with different connector types.

What is the cable diameter?

The cable measures 6.5mm in diameter, giving it enough body to cope with regular plugging and unplugging.

Do I still need matching DMX cables?

You use your normal DMX cables and add this adaptor at the point where a 3-pin and 5-pin connection meet, so you avoid carrying multiple cable types.
