ProX XC-DMX5P1000FT — 1000 ft. Bulk 5-Pin DMX Cable Spool
XC-DMX5P1000FT Overview
The ProX XC-DMX5P1000FT delivers 1000 feet of high-performance 5-pin DMX bulk cable on a single spool, purpose-built for professional lighting system installations, touring rigs, and permanent venue deployments. The cable maintains a nominal characteristic impedance of 110 ohms, meeting the AES standard for DMX512 data transmission, while a Duofoil 100% coverage shield combined with an 85% tinned copper braid shield ensures reliable signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. A twisted quad data cable geometry and polyethylene insulation further reduce capacitance and signal degradation over long runs. This spool is the practical choice for lighting designers, system integrators, and production companies that terminate their own custom-length DMX runs.
The PVC outer jacket provides long-term durability under heavy daily use, and the cable is rated for an operating temperature range of -30°C to +75°C, making it suitable for both indoor installations and outdoor touring environments.
Key Features
- 110-Ohm Nominal Characteristic Impedance — meets the AES/EIA-485 specification for DMX512 data cable, ensuring proper signal termination and transmission integrity
- Dual-Layer Shielding — Duofoil at 100% coverage plus a tinned copper braid shield at 85% coverage provides comprehensive rejection of EMI and RFI interference
- Twisted Quad Data Cable Construction — reduces crosstalk and capacitive coupling across long cable runs
- Polyethylene Insulation and Inner Jacket — low-loss dielectric material maintains signal fidelity with a nominal capacitance of 12.8 pF/ft conductor to conductor at 1 kHz
- Low Nominal Attenuation — 0.6 dB/100 ft at 1 MHz for consistent signal level across extended runs
- Tin Copper Conductors (TCC) — 24 AWG nominal conductor DC resistance of 24 ohms/1000 ft supports reliable data transmission with a maximum recommended current of 2.1 amps per conductor at 25°C
- PVC Outer Jacket — abrasion-resistant jacket rated for operating temperatures from -30°C to +75°C, built to withstand the rigors of touring and permanent installation
- 1000 ft. Bulk Spool Format — allows integrators and technicians to cut custom lengths and terminate with preferred 5-pin XLR connectors, minimizing waste and reducing per-foot cost
