Hosa DMT414 DMX Terminator XLR 3-Pin (M)

The Hosa DMT414 is a purposeful termination adaptor built to complete DMX-512 daisy chains in live and studio lighting rigs. Manufactured by Hosa, a respected name in signal integrity, this 3-pin XLR male unit addresses a genuine technical need: preventing signal reflections and ensuring stable protocol operation across networked fixtures. The built-in 120-ohm resistor handles termination duties without requiring external components or additional hardware.

Built around XLR 3-pin connectors, the DMT414 slots seamlessly into standard DMX installations where a female receptacle sits at the end of a lighting chain. The 120-ohm resistive load matches the impedance specification of DMX-512 cabling, preventing signal degradation that can cause dropped commands or erratic fixture behaviour. Construction is straightforward but engineered: the adaptor houses its termination resistor internally, eliminating exposed components and keeping the connector footprint compact for tight racks and cable runs.
