Data
The AutoPar Luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA THRU (out) applications.
DATA IN requires a 5-pin, female XLR connector and DATA THRU requires a 5-pin, male XLR connector. When
purchasing or constructing data cables, it is important that not only the correct cable type be used, but also quality
cable to ensure a reliable DMX512 system. Your cabling should meet the following USITT DMX specification
requirements:
+
Suitable for use with EIA485 (RS485) operation at 250k baud.
+
Characteristic impedance 85-150 ohms, nominally 120 ohms.
+
Low capacitance.
+
Two twisted pairs.
+
Foil and braid shielded.
+
24 AWG minimum gauge for runs up to 1000 feet (300m).
+
22 AWG minimum gauge for runs up to 1640 feet (500m).
Note: Microphone type cables and other general purpose, two-core audio or signal cables are not suitable for use
with DMX512.
