10PCS 5 Ft. High Performance DMX Male 3-Pin to DMX Female 3-Pin Coupler Patch Cable

Overview

Featuring the ProX XC-DMX05 5 Ft. DMX Male 3-Pin to DMX Female 3-Pin High Performance Cable, a mid-length patch cable built for the real demands of live production. Five feet is the sweet spot for a lot of common DMX tasks: bridging a controller to a first fixture, linking moving heads in a cluster, or keeping connections organized at a stage plot without fighting a cable that is either too short to reach or too long to manage. The ProX XC-DMX05 is built around verified electrical specs that match the EIA-485 / DMX512 standard precisely, so you get clean data every time the lights need to respond on cue.

Construction and Signal Path

The ProX XC-DMX05 uses a twisted quad data cable design with polyethylene insulation on each conductor. This geometry is purpose-built for DMX512 protocol, maintaining a nominal characteristic impedance of 110 ohms throughout the cable's length, exactly where the standard requires it. Duofoil shielding provides 100% coverage across the full cable run, and a tinned copper braid adds an additional 85% coverage layer on top. This two-layer approach keeps RF interference and signal bleed from causing erratic fixture behavior in setups with dense lighting or multiple universes running in close proximity.

Conductors and Transfer Quality

Conductors are 22 AWG tinned copper, with gold and silver-plated contacts at both connectors for a low-resistance, corrosion-resistant connection. Nominal capacitance from conductor to conductor at 1 kHz measures 12.8 pF/ft, with conductor-to-shield capacitance at 23 pF/ft under the same conditions. Nominal propagation velocity is 66%, with a nominal delay of 1.6 nanoseconds per foot. Nominal conductor DC resistance is 24 ohms per 1000 ft at 20 degrees C, and the outer shield resistance is 3.4 ohms per 1000 ft at the same temperature. These numbers matter when your rig includes long runs, multiple data splitters, or tight timing requirements across a large fixture count.

Jacket and Durability

A flexible PVC outer jacket protects the internal build while staying pliable across an operating temperature range of -30 degrees C to +75 degrees C. Maximum recommended current is 2.1 amps per conductor at 25 degrees C. The jacket handles the bending, coiling, and daily repackaging that comes with any working cable kit without cracking or stiffening over time.

Connectors

The 3-pin XLR-style DMX connectors feature all-metal chassis construction at both ends. Gold and silver-plated contacts are built to hold up through repeated insertion and removal cycles without corroding or losing grip. This matters on a cable that gets patched in and out multiple times per show or packed and unpacked dozens of times per season.

Testing and Quality Control

Every ProX XC-DMX05 is individually tested before it leaves the facility. Not sampled from a batch, not spot-checked. Each unit is verified to confirm it performs to spec. When you are running a show and every fixture in your rig needs to respond correctly, that matters.

The Right Length for the Right Job

At 5 feet, the ProX XC-DMX05 gives lighting technicians, touring engineers, AV rental companies, and mobile DJs a versatile patch cable that handles more situations than a 3-foot cable can reach without going to the bulk of a 10-foot run. It is long enough to work across most rig configurations and short enough to keep your cable management clean.

Designed by Professionals. Built for Performers. Backed by 40 Years of Excellence.

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-DMX05 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.
