FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity for LBSDMX DMX512 lighting control cable?
Standard models are available from stock in 100m rolls. For OEM orders with custom printing and packaging, please send your project requirements for a tailored quotation.
Can the jacket colour and printing be customised for my brand?
Yes. Custom jacket colours and permanent cable printing with your brand name, model code and specification are available for OEM orders.
Can DMX512 lighting control cable be terminated with XLR connectors?
Yes, LBS offers pre-assembled XLR terminated DMX512 lighting control cables on request. Please confirm your connector specification, length and quantity.
Is this cable suitable for balanced audio?
Yes, the LBSDMX128035 uses high-density OFC spiral shielding (85%+ coverage) and a twisted-pair construction suitable for balanced DMX512 lighting control and line-level audio signals.

DMX512 impedance: what the standard says, and what this data sheet states
DMX512 runs on the RS-485 electrical layer. RS-485 is specified around a 120 Ω nominal characteristic impedance on shielded twisted-pair cable, and impedance comes from the construction — conductor spacing, insulation and shield geometry — not from the copper size alone.
LBS publishes 120 Ω on the double-shielded LBSDMX…-2 models. On this single-shielded model the published data sheet states shield type, braiding, jacket O.D. and temperature range, and does not state an impedance figure. If your project documentation has to carry one, request the value against this model instead of assuming it.
Why the figure matters: DMX termination and daisy-chain rules →
Single-shield or double-shield: what the order has to state
LBS builds two DMX512 families with the same two conductors, the same 6.3 mm matt EPVC jacket and the same -20 °C to +70 °C rating. The difference is the shield, and that is the line the purchase order has to be specific about.

Where the run shares a tray, a truss or a cable path with dimmer racks, LED power supplies or motor drives, the foil layer under the braid is the reason to specify the double-shielded construction. Where the data pair is routed clear of that equipment, the single-shielded spiral is the simpler build and the usual choice.

Can DMX512 cable be replaced with Cat6?
Not for the bus. DMX512 is specified as a 120 Ω shielded twisted pair, and Cat5e / Cat6 is specified at a nominal 100 Ω ±15 Ω. Those are different physical layers, so a network pair is not a substitute for this cable on a lighting run, however good that cable is for its own purpose.
Cat5e / Cat6 is the right cable in the other case: when the DMX universes travel as Ethernet traffic between a console and a node — Art-Net or sACN (ANSI E1.31) — and the node then outputs conventional DMX512 to the fixtures. The rule for a purchase list is that the cable follows the port: a 5-pin XLR DMX output takes DMX512 cable (this page), an RJ45 output takes network cable plus a node at the far end.
DMX over Cat6: can you run DMX512 on Ethernet cable? sets out both cases, the symptoms each one produces and what the order has to state.
Confirm these three points before this model is quoted
- Shield level — this page is the single-shielded build (high-density OFC spiral, 85%+ coverage). Where the run shares a tray, truss or cable path with dimmer racks, LED power supplies or motor drives, the double-shielded foil-plus-braid build is the construction to specify.
- Whether a stated impedance figure is required — this single-shielded data sheet publishes construction, jacket O.D. and temperature range, not a characteristic-impedance value. If the project documentation has to carry one, say so in the enquiry.
- Length, packing and termination — 100 m rolls, 305 m drums or custom lengths, with XLR male/female pre-assembly available on request.
