Aputure Active USB-C to 5-Pin DMX In & Out Adapter

SKU CH-31AZ-5DZNW

Converts USB-C to 5-pin DMX in/out with built-in chip for Aputure MT Pro, MC Pro and INFINIBARs while charging fixtures

  • Enables wired DMX/RDM control via USB-C
  • Powers fixtures while connected to DMX network
  • Mounts directly with 3/8" screw and Arri locating pins
  • Designed for INFINIBAR, MT Pro and MC Pro fixtures
  • Active adapter converts USB-C to 5-pin DMX in and out

Designed for Aputure Fixtures

The adapter is built specifically for Aputure MT Pro, MC Pro and INFINIBAR fixtures. It converts a USB-C port into a standard 5-pin DMX input and output so multiple lights can be daisy-chained on a wired DMX network. An onboard DMX/RDM chip provides stable, reliable control during shoots and performances.

Charging and Mounting Combined

While the fixture is connected to the DMX network the adapter simultaneously delivers power over USB-C, removing the need for a separate power cable. The rear panel includes a 3/8-inch screw thread with Arri locating pins, allowing the unit to be mounted directly on the fixture or on other rigging points for flexible placement.

Simple Plug-and-Play Setup

Connect the USB-C end to the light, link the 5-pin DMX cables, and the adapter is ready — no drivers or configuration are required. The only common issue is using a USB-C cable that lacks sufficient power delivery, which can cause the fixture to shut down under load; a compliant PD cable resolves this. Not suited for users who need wireless DMX control or fixtures outside the listed Aputure range.

Questions about this item

Will the 5-pin DMX connectors or the USB-C port wear out from repeated plugging and unplugging on location?

The adapter uses standard 5-pin XLR DMX connectors and a USB-C port rated for thousands of mating cycles; no user-serviceable parts are inside, so normal studio or field use does not require scheduled replacement.

What thermal or current limit appears first when the adapter powers an INFINIBAR, MT Pro or MC Pro continuously over DMX?

The unit draws its operating power from the host fixture's USB-C supply and passes DMX/RDM signals through its built-in chip; the fixture's own power-management governs sustained current, so the adapter itself has no separate thermal throttle.

How much heat or fan noise does the adapter add when it sits on a fixture running all day?

The adapter has no fan and no active cooling; its DMX/RDM circuitry draws only milliwatts, so it remains at ambient temperature and adds zero audible noise during continuous operation.
