5 Ft. DMX XLR3-M to XLR3-F Premium Cable

Overview

Introducing the ProX XCP-DMX05 5 Ft. DMX XLR3-M to XLR3-F Premium Cable, a purpose-built DMX data cable designed for lighting control applications where signal integrity is non-negotiable. At 5 ft., it hits the sweet spot for a wide range of real-world DMX runs: controller-to-dimmer pack connections, fixture daisy-chaining across a truss bay, short drops from a lighting console to a nearby node, or anywhere you need a half-step more reach than a 3 ft. cable allows without running excess slack across the stage floor.

Purpose-Built for DMX, Not Audio DMX is a data protocol operating at 110-ohm nominal impedance, and that spec matters. Audio cables are not engineered to meet it. Running audio cable in a DMX chain introduces impedance mismatches that cause signal degradation, unreliable fixture response, and unpredictable behavior across longer daisy-chain runs. The ProX XCP-DMX05 is built specifically for DMX from the ground up, with the correct electrical characteristics to keep your lighting data clean from source to fixture.

OFC Conductors and Braided Shield The XCP-DMX05 is built around 22 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) conductors paired with a braided OFC copper compact shield. In a live production environment where DMX lines share physical space with power distro, audio snakes, and signal cables, shielding is what stands between your fixtures responding correctly and your lighting rig turning into a noise-chasing headache. The braided copper shield actively blocks interference and keeps your DMX data exactly as it left the controller.

All-Metal XLR Connectors with Silver Plated Contacts Both ends of the ProX XCP-DMX05 feature ProX branded, all-metal XLR connectors with silver plated contacts. The all-metal construction handles the physical wear of repeated patching without the cracking or loosening that plastic-bodied connectors develop over time. Silver plated contacts maintain a consistent, low-resistance connection through regular use.

Durable, Flexible Construction The cable jacket is built for long-term field use. It bends and twists without stiffening or fatiguing, which matters when cables are routed around truss, coiled back into cases at the end of a gig, and deployed again the next day. The 5 ft. length is practical for installs and portable rigs alike, offering just enough reach for most short-run DMX connections without creating excess cable management overhead.

Practical Compatibility Note Twisted pair DMX data transmission cables like the ProX XCP-DMX05 are not interchangeable with audio cables. Their impedance, capacitance, and shielding characteristics differ substantially. Always match cable type to protocol for reliable connections.

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 XCP-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.

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!
