RJ45 DMX-512A Connections & Requirements

This RPS features RJ45 DMX-512A IN and OUT ports. WAC recommends UTP CAT5 cable (by others).

RJ45 Pin Outs: 

• Based on DMX best practices, WAC recommends Daisy Chain DMX wiring between devices for DMX runs.

• "TREE" or "STAR" wiring topology may result in unprescribed performance and is NOT recommended.

• The total length of DMX wiring between the DMX controller/gateway and last device is NOT to exceed 1000ft [approx. 300M].
• Up to 32 power supply units (located inside the RPS) may be connected on a single DMX line. After 32 power supply units, a DMX repeater/booster (by others) is required
• NOTE: A RPS may contain more than 1 power supply unit. In DMX application, each power supply unit is counted as single DMX unit load.
• To minimize data reflections of the DMX signal, cable termination is required. If using UTP CAT5 cable, a 120Ω RJ45 termination plug is to be installed the DMX OUT port on the final RPS of the DMX run.
