When you have a lighting fixture, controller, or dimmer pack with a male XLR-3 DMX output and the next link in your chain demands a female XLR-5 input, this compact coupler bridges that gap instantly. No signal degradation. No workarounds.

ProX XC-DMX3M5F uses a twisted pair data cable construction wrapped in polyethylene insulation, a Duofoil® shield delivering 100% coverage, and a tinned copper braid shield adding 85% coverage on top of that. Together, these layers defend your DMX data against interference and signal bleed that can cause flickering, dropout, or erratic fixture behavior. With a nominal characteristic impedance of 110 ohms, the cable meets the DMX512 standard precisely, which is critical for data integrity across your full fixture count.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.12em;line-height:1.35;font-weight:700;margin:1.25em 0 .35em\"\u003eBuilt for Real Rigs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ProX XC-DMX3M5F is not a temporary fix you tape to a cable run and hope holds up.
