Built by Hosa, a cable manufacturer trusted across live sound and lighting rigs, this terminator incorporates a 120-ohm resistor to safely terminate the signal line, preventing reflections and signal degradation that can occur when a DMX chain ends without proper impedance matching.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe adaptor features a male XLR 5-pin connector for direct integration into the final node of a DMX-512 network. The 120-ohm terminating resistor is the critical specification here–it matches the characteristic impedance of DMX512 cable, ensuring clean signal transmission across the entire chain. This is essential for reliable control of moving lights, dimmers, and other intelligent fixtures, particularly in larger installations where cable runs are extended and noise immunity becomes paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eXLR 5-pin male connector for DMX512 daisy chain termination\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e120-ohm terminating resistor for impedance matching\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrevents signal reflections and degradation at chain end\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompact, rugged construction for touring and permanent install\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard DMX512 lighting control protocols\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHosa engineering and quality standards throughout\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEssential for chains exceeding 300 metres or high-noise environments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSimple plug-in installation, no tools or configuration required\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"manufacturer-site\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, please visit the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hosatech.com\/products\/data\/dmx-cable-adapter\/dmt-485\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emanufacturer's website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hosa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41570928558138,"sku":"HOS-DMT485","price":29.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1764\/4443\/files\/Hosa_DMT485_DMX_Terminator_XLR_5-Pin__M__1785469999-01.jpg?v=1785470007","url":"https:\/\/gsus4.com.au\/products\/hosa-dmt485-dmx-terminator-xlr-5-pin-m","provider":"Gsus4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
