Hosa DMT485 DMX Terminator XLR 5-Pin (M)

The Hosa DMT485 is a terminator adaptor engineered to safely conclude DMX-512 daisy chains at the XLR 5-pin male connector. Termination in DMX systems isn't optional—it's essential for signal integrity in lighting rigs, stage control setups, and live sound deployments where data travels through multiple fixtures or devices in sequence.

This adaptor houses a 120-ohm resistor, the standard impedance value required to prevent signal reflections and ghosting across DMX-512 networks. The XLR 5-pin male connection ensures compatibility with standard DMX outputs, while the integrated termination network stabilises the data line at chain's end. Constructed to professional specifications, it's a compact, passive solution that requires no external power and integrates seamlessly into existing rig architectures.
