Hosa DMX-306 DMX512 Adapter XLR Male to XLR5 Female – 6in

Hosa DMX-306 — DMX512 XLR3 Male to XLR5 Female Adapter

DMX-306 Overview

The Hosa DMX-306 is a 6-inch DMX512 adapter cable designed to bridge 3-pin DMX512 outputs to 5-pin DMX512 inputs, a common compatibility requirement in professional lighting systems. Built to the DMX512 standard, it features a 110-ohm impedance rating, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) conductors, and a hi-density OFC braided shield for reliable signal integrity in demanding environments. The 3-conductor construction omits the optional secondary data return path from receiver to source, which is standard practice for unidirectional DMX control. This adapter is suited for lighting technicians, touring companies, system integrators, and venues managing mixed-pin DMX infrastructure.

XLR connectors with internal strain relief provide rugged durability for repeated connection cycles in both installed and touring applications.

Key Features

• 3-Pin to 5-Pin DMX512 Adaptation — Converts XLR3M outputs to XLR5F inputs for cross-compatibility between DMX fixtures and controllers
• 110-Ohm Impedance — Matches the DMX512 standard for proper signal transmission and termination
• OFC Conductors — Oxygen-Free Copper construction for enhanced signal clarity and reduced resistance
• Hi-Density OFC Braided Shield — Provides superior rejection of EMI and RFI interference in electrically noisy environments
• Internal Strain Relief — XLR connectors feature internal strain relief for rugged, long-term reliability under repeated use
• 3-Conductor Cable — Omits optional secondary data communication channel, consistent with standard unidirectional DMX512 practice
• Compact 6-Inch Length — Minimal footprint for clean rack, console, or fixture connections without excess cable
