DMX runs at 110 ohms, and a mismatched cable causes signal reflections that show up as flicker or erratic fixtures, worse with every fixture and every foot added. ProX itself notes that DMX cable is not for audio and audio cable is not for DMX.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDo I Need a Terminator?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn longer chains or with many fixtures, yes. A DMX terminator in the last fixture's DMX out stops the signal reflecting back up the line. Short chains often run without one, but it is the first fix when fixtures misbehave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIs This for 3-Pin or 5-Pin Fixtures?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e3-pin.
