Overview

Featuring the ProX XC-5PDMX05 5 Ft. DMX XLR5-M to XLR5-F High Performance 5-Pin Data Cable, the go-to choice for professionals who need a reliable, mid-length DMX run between console and fixture without signal compromise. Five feet is one of the most practical lengths on any stage or in any rack setup, bridging the gap between devices that sit close but not directly adjacent. The ProX XC-5PDMX05 is built specifically for 5-pin DMX512 data transmission and engineered to hold a clean, stable control signal through every scene change and every show.

Signal-Grade Construction

The ProX XC-5PDMX05 uses a dual twisted pair configuration with four Oxygen-Free Copper conductors, keeping resistance low and signal integrity high across all active DMX channels. Polyethylene insulation protects each conductor individually, and a polyethylene inner jacket keeps the twisted pairs properly separated before the shielding assembly begins.

Shielding

The ProX XC-5PDMX05 layers its protection where it counts most. A Duofoil shield delivers 100% foil coverage along the entire cable length, and a tinned copper braid adds a secondary 85% coverage layer on top. Together they form an exceptionally effective barrier against noise and interference. The result is a nominal characteristic impedance of 110 ohms, matching the EIA-485 standard required for proper DMX512 operation.

Electrical Performance

The ProX XC-5PDMX05 holds a nominal capacitance of 12.8 pF/ft conductor-to-conductor at 1KHz, a nominal propagation velocity of 66%, and a nominal delay of 1.6 nanoseconds per foot. Nominal conductor DC resistance is rated at 24 ohms per 1,000 ft, with a nominal outer shield DC resistance of 3.4 ohms per 1,000 ft. Nominal attenuation is 0.6 dB per 100 ft at 1MHz. Maximum recommended current is 2.1 amps per conductor at 25 degrees C. Operating temperature range spans -30 degrees C to +75 degrees C.

Outer Jacket and Durability

A PVC outer jacket wraps the full assembly, providing the flexibility and physical toughness needed for repeated coiling, rigging, and the general punishment of a working touring environment. ProX XC-5PDMX05 is built to hold up long term, not just for one run of shows.

Connectors

All-metal XLR-5 connectors with gold-plated contacts terminate both ends. The male XLR-5 and female XLR-5 ends are ProX branded, designed to seat and lock firmly so they stay put throughout a full performance.

Important Note

Twisted pair DMX data transmission cables are not appropriate for audio use, and standard audio cables should never be substituted for DMX data applications. Their electrical characteristics differ substantially. Always use the correct cable type to ensure reliable system operation.

ProX products are designed by a team of seasoned industry professionals who know firsthand what it means when power fails mid-show. Since 1984, ProX has built its reputation on one principle: every product must perform as hard as the professionals who depend on it. We listen to our customers, and their real-world feedback directly shapes the products we bring to market. The ProX XC-5PDMX05 is a direct result of that collaboration. When you choose ProX, you are investing in four decades of hands-on expertise and a brand that has never stopped raising the standard for live performance gear.

NOTE: Twisted pair DMX data transmission cables are not suitable for audio use. Conversely, audio cables are not suitable for DMX data use. Their specifications and characteristics differ substantially. Always use the correct cable for reliable connections!
