DMX Cable Layout
DMX Networking Guidelines
If you are connecting more than one DMX fixture, it is imperative to properly configure the DMX network. Following the
guidelines below should reduce the possibility of networking errors.
1. Only cables intended for DMX operations should be used. Avoid DMX runs parallel to power cables, particularly those
from dimmer racks.
2. Fixtures and other devices in a DMX network need to be configured in a daisy-chain fashion. The use of DMX “Y” devices
or “twofers” is not advised.
3. You can use up to 32 Brightline DMX fixtures on a single DMX data line. If there are more than 32 units, the use of a
DMX repeater amplifier or splitter amplifier is required. A repeater amplifier is an electronic device that boosts the
DMX signal. A splitter amplifier is an electronic device that boosts the DMX signal and provides for multiple DMX
outputs from a single DMX input since using multiple DMX devices may cause signal degradation.
4. Brightline DMX fixtures are self-termina ng. No DMX termina on switch is required. (With most DMX devices, there is a
“DMX Thru/DMX Terminate: switch that is set to “Terminate” for the last device on the data line and set to “Through” for
all other devices.)
5. Brightline fixtures, like the majority of DMX devices, use 5-pin, XLR-type plugs wired according to table 1. Pins 4 & 5 are
not used, and so, on Brightline fixtures, are not connected to wiring. Pin 1 (shield) should be connected to earth ground
only at the control console.
Note: These guidelines will help the user configure most DMX networks. For more information, contact the manufacturer of the control console, or a DMX
manual. A useful DMX guide is “Recommended Practice for DMX-512” by Adam Benne e, co-published by PLASA in the United Kingdom and USITT in
North America.

appropriate female receptacle on the lighting
control console.

end (Figure 4) with the male receptacle on
the first fixture labeled “DMX IN.” Insert the
plug into the receptacle un l it locks into
place.
4. Program DMX addresses by gently pressing
in the adjustment buttons with a pointed
object such as a pen (Figure 10 on page 5)
with the female receptacle labeled “DMX
THRU” on the first fixture. Insert the plug
into the receptacles until it locks into place.
5. Route the jumper cable to the next fixture.
6. Line up the locking key on the female plug
end of the jumper cable (Figure 4) with the
male receptacle labeled “DMX IN” on the
next fixture. Insert the plug into the
receptacle until it locks into place.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for remaining fixtures.
8. Turn power “ON” on all devices.
Disconnecting Cables
1. Turn power “OFF” on all devices.
2. To disconnect the female end of the cable, press down the release button on the plug and pull the
plug out of receptacle. Pressure should be applied to the plug, not the cables.
