Hosa DMT-485 DMX512 Terminator — XLR 5-Pin Male
DMT-485 Overview
The Hosa DMT-485 is a purpose-built terminator for 5-pin DMX-512 daisy chain systems, providing a clean and reliable end-of-line termination for lighting control networks. It incorporates an internal 120-ohm resistor, which absorbs signal reflections at the end of the DMX line and prevents data errors or erratic fixture behavior. This terminator is an essential accessory for lighting technicians, system integrators, and touring production crews running DMX-512 networks. Proper termination is a fundamental requirement of any professional DMX installation, and the DMT-485 delivers a compact, dependable solution.
The DMT-485 plugs directly into the last fixture or splitter output on a 5-pin DMX daisy chain, requiring no tools or additional hardware for deployment.
