Quadralite 3-Pin Female Mini DMX to 3-Pin Male XLR Cable, 3 m

Stage lighting technicians and mobile DJs often face the challenge of connecting compact fixtures with mini DMX ports to standard DMX control systems. This 3-meter Quadralite cable bridges that gap, allowing you to integrate mini-DMX-equipped lights into your existing XLR-based DMX universe without adapters or signal loss.

Key specifications

• Connector A: 3-pin female mini DMX
• Connector B: 3-pin male XLR
• Cable length: 3 m (9.84 ft)
• Impedance: 110 Ohm, compliant with DMX512 standard
• Conductor: 24 AWG oxygen-free copper (OFC) for reliable signal transmission
• Shielding: braided shield to reject EMI and RFI
• Jacket: flexible PVC, black, for durability and easy routing
• Connector plating: nickel for corrosion resistance and smooth mating

Why choose it

Built for professional lighting control, this cable ensures stable digital DMX signal over the full 3-meter run. The combination of OFC conductors, braided shielding, and proper 110-ohm impedance minimizes data errors and flicker, even in electrically noisy environments. The flexible jacket coils easily and lays flat, while nickel-plated connectors provide secure, long-lasting connections.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting mini-DMX fixtures (e.g., compact pars, battery uplights) to a standard DMX console or splitter
• Extending DMX runs in tight spaces where full-size XLR connectors are too bulky
• Backup or replacement cable for rental kits and touring rigs
• Integrating architectural or accent lighting with mini DMX ports into a larger control system

Good to know

The cable is intended for indoor use in standard dry locations. It is not rated for outdoor or IP65 environments. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate strain relief to protect the mini DMX connector, which is smaller and more delicate than full-size XLR.
