Applications
The DMX Terminator is ideal for placing at the end of any daisy chain of DMX fixtures. Simply plug it in to the XLR-3 data port on your DMX fixture and you’re set!

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these connectors rated for outdoor use?
No, these connectors are only meant for indoor use in dry spaces.
Q: Do I really need a DMX Terminator?
If your decoder chains are small, your installation will generally be okay and might not need a terminator, but if you are starting to get signal bounce back that interferes with performance, terminators are a must. We generally recommend terminators for use with daisy chains longer than five fixtures.
