10-foot 3-pin DMX AES/EBU cable
This 10-foot cable carries digital DMX lighting control and AES/EBU audio signals over a twisted pair of 22AWG conductors. It uses 3-pin male XLR on the input end and 3-pin female XLR on the output end for standard stage and studio connections. Double shielding with copper braid and aluminum foil provides 100 percent coverage. Nominal impedance is rated at 110-120 ohms for accurate data transmission.
Impedance and shielding limits
The 110-120 ohm nominal impedance matches DMX and AES/EBU requirements, but cable length and connector quality affect signal integrity over long runs. The 22AWG twisted pair and double shield reduce interference, yet very long daisy chains may still degrade timing or cause data errors. This cable is not rated for analogue audio or mains voltage applications.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your fixtures and audio gear use 3-pin XLR for DMX or AES/EBU, as some devices require 5-pin XLR or different connector types. Confirm the 10-foot length suits your rack or truss layout without excess slack or tension. Ensure the 110-120 ohm impedance matches the system specification for reliable operation.

Questions about this item
Is the 10-foot length suitable for my DMX lighting run?
The cable measures 10 feet, about 3 metres, which works for many stage and studio runs; choose a longer snake only if the distance between fixtures exceeds that.
What does the 110-120 ohm impedance mean for my AES/EBU signal?
The 110-120 ohm nominal impedance matches the AES/EBU standard, so digital audio data stays intact without reflections that cause dropouts.
Will the 3-pin XLR connectors work with standard DMX gear?
Yes, the male and female 3-pin XLR ends are the common DMX interface; the twisted-pair 22AWG conductors and double shielding keep the signal clean.
