ProX RJ45 to XLR DMX Adapter 3-Pin Cat 5/6 Converter | Male

Lighting technicians, integrators, and production crews who need to run DMX512 control signals across a venue without paying premium cable prices will find these RJ45-to-XLR adapters a practical and reliable solution. By exploiting the fact that Cat 5/6 ethernet cable shares the same electrical characteristics as dedicated DMX512 cable, these adapters let you use any length of low-cost ethernet cable as a DMX run. The result is cleaner installs, easier cable management, and significantly reduced material costs on both touring rigs and permanent installations.

The adapters are offered in 3-pin male and 3-pin female XLR configurations, covering both ends of a DMX link and allowing integration with existing XLR-terminated fixtures, controllers, and splitters. Gold-plated contacts on every connector ensure consistent signal integrity and resist corrosion over years of repeated connection cycles, outperforming standard tin-plated alternatives in longevity and low-contact-resistance performance. These are DMX512 data adapters only and are not intended for audio applications.

For lighting designers working in installed environments, these adapters simplify conduit runs where ethernet cable is already present. For touring crews, they reduce the number of specialized cable types that need to be stocked and replaced. The ProX limited lifetime warranty backs the build quality, making these a dependable long-term addition to any lighting kit.
