These DMX 3-pin XLR to XLR cables are made using Canford's HST110, high performance extra-flexible twisted twin conductor, helical screened cable, with an impedance of 110/120 ohms specifically designed for transmission of AES/EBU digital audio and DMX lighting control signals.
They also come fitted with Red XLR coding rings to denote DMX wiring.
Each individual cable is described in detail by the use of an abbreviated sequence in the form:
