stormy Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Hi, i have just ordered a jester 24/48 and 5 Rack 6 Dmx dimmers. What kind of DMX-cable do i need? Does from jester dmx 5-pin to xlr 3-pin and xlr 3-pin to dmx 5-pin into rack 6 work and then RJ45 from rack 6 to rack 6? Thax for helping me, Stormy.

Kirkup_xp Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 You simply use 5-pin DMX cable to link everything together. Jester --5pin DMX--> First Rack 6 --5pin DMX--> Second Rack 6 --5pin DMX--> Third Rack 6.... -->Last Rack 6 If you're making up your own DMX cables, you should use a cable with appropriate ratings for the DMX standard. Microphone cable is NOT acceptable. More info here. Each rack 6 is then assigned to a seperate DMX start address - 1, 7, 13, 19, 25 would be sensible start addresses for yours. The last item in the DMX chain should have a DMX terminator fitted. A terminator is simply a 120R resistor fitted between pins 2+3 of a 5pin male XLR. The RJ12 connectors on the Rack6 are for Chillinet, ignore them if you're only using DMX. Hope this helps Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
