10.4 DMX Cabling

The DMX cable should meet EIA485 requirements. The characteristics
for this cable include low capacitance, twisted pair, shielded, and de-
signed for high speed data.

Twisted pair Ethernet cabling referred to as Category 5 cable may be
a cabling option upon successful evaluation in the end use application.

In the end use application, proper separation between control wiring
from the DMX interface and AC mains must be observed in accor-
dance with the applicable safety standards and/or NEC/CEC require-
ments.

The maximum permissible cable length between DMX Controller
(transmitter) and last TRINITY PC is 1000 feet (300 meters). A DMX
splitter (preferably isolated) may be required to extend the cable
length.
