50 Ft. High Performance DMX Male 3-Pin to DMX Female 3-Pin Cable

Overview

Featuring the ProX XC-DMX50 50 Ft. High Performance DMX Male 3-Pin to DMX Female 3-Pin Cable, the heavy-duty long-run solution in the ProX 3-pin DMX line and the cable built for the distances that define large-scale production. Fifty feet is the run that spans a full arena stage from wing to wing, drops from a lighting controller at front of house all the way to a central stage position, or links two separate universe zones in a sprawling permanent install. At this length, nothing about the cable construction can be left to chance. Every spec, every material choice, and every layer of shielding exists to ensure that the DMX512 data stream arrives at the far end exactly the way it left the source. The ProX XC-DMX50 is built to deliver on that promise, show after show.

Construction and Signal Path

The ProX XC-DMX50 uses a twisted quad data cable design with polyethylene insulation on each conductor. Fifty feet puts the most pressure on impedance consistency of any length in the ProX DMX line. The nominal characteristic impedance is maintained at 110 ohms throughout the full cable length, which is the exact value the EIA-485 / DMX512 standard specifies. Any deviation across a run this long can introduce reflections and data corruption that affect every fixture downstream. The twisted quad geometry holds that number in check from connector to connector. Duofoil shielding provides 100% coverage along the entire 50-foot run, and a tinned copper braid adds an additional 85% coverage layer on top. In a production environment where this cable is running parallel to power distribution, dimmers, wireless receivers, and LED drivers, both shields are working the entire time.

Conductors and Transfer Quality

Conductors are 22 AWG tinned copper with gold and silver-plated contacts at both connectors. Nominal capacitance from conductor to conductor at 1 kHz is 12.8 pF/ft, with conductor-to-shield capacitance at 23 pF/ft. 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 outer shield resistance is 3.4 ohms per 1000 ft under the same conditions. Nominal attenuation is 0.6 dB per 100 ft at 1 MHz. At 50 feet, these figures accumulate more than on any shorter cable in the series, and the XC-DMX50 is specified to absorb that accumulation while staying within DMX512 operating tolerance.

Jacket and Durability

The flexible PVC outer jacket covers all 50 feet and is rated for 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. A 50-foot cable on a touring rig gets coiled into a large loop, loaded onto trucks, dragged across stage floors, and deployed again at every stop. The PVC jacket is built to handle that cycle repeatedly without cracking, stiffening, or developing stress points that compromise the internal build.

Connectors

Both ends use 3-pin XLR-style DMX connectors with all-metal chassis construction and gold and silver-plated contacts. At 50 feet, the connector at each end is the first and last point of contact for the entire data run. These are built to lock in securely, resist corrosion, and hold up through the repeated patching and repositioning that come with any high-volume touring or rental operation.

Testing and Quality Control

Every ProX XC-DMX50 is individually tested before it ships. On a cable this long, a single fault anywhere along the run can take down an entire lighting universe. ProX verifies each unit against spec so it performs correctly the first time it goes into a rig, and every time after that.

The Cable for Maximum Distance

Production managers, head riggers, systems engineers, and AV rental companies working large-format productions, permanent installs, and touring rigs that demand the longest single-cable DMX runs available will find the ProX XC-DMX50 is built for the job. Fifty feet of verified, shielded, precision-spec DMX cable that gets the signal where it needs to go.

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-DMX50 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.
