SADMX50 - 50 Foot Premium Heavy Duty DMX Cable (4 Pack)
The SADMX50 4-pack gives lighting designers and stage technicians a complete DMX cable solution for medium to large installations. Whether you're wiring a church sanctuary, theater stage, or multi-room venue, this bundle provides the backbone for reliable lighting control across extended runs.
Each 50-foot cable handles DMX512 protocol transmission with precision, ensuring your lighting console communicates flawlessly with fixtures, dimmers, and effects units. The 18-gauge copper conductors maintain signal integrity over the full length, preventing the dropouts and glitches that plague cheaper cables.
Professional-grade XLR connectors deliver secure connections that won't work loose during shows. The 3-pin male to female configuration follows industry standard wiring, making these cables compatible with virtually all DMX lighting equipment. Heavy-duty construction withstands the punishment of road cases, cable runs under stages, and repeated setup/teardown cycles.
Perfect for lighting rigs that need to span large spaces — think school auditoriums, wedding venues, or outdoor festival stages where fixtures are positioned 40+ feet from the console. The 4-pack format covers most single-zone installations or provides spares for critical shows where cable failure isn't an option.
Connections are straightforward: male XLR plugs into your lighting console or previous fixture, female XLR accepts the next device in your daisy chain. Each cable maintains the 120-ohm impedance standard required for DMX transmission.
One-year warranty backs each cable in the pack, with fast shipping to keep your lighting projects on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
What venues work best with 50-foot DMX cables?
These cables excel in medium to large spaces where lighting fixtures need significant separation from the console. Think school auditoriums seating 200-500 people, church sanctuaries with balcony lighting, or outdoor stages where truss-mounted fixtures are positioned 40+ feet away. The 50-foot length eliminates the need for multiple shorter cables that create potential failure points.
Can I daisy-chain multiple SADMX50 cables together?
Yes, DMX protocol supports daisy-chaining, and these cables use standard 3-pin XLR wiring for seamless connections. However, keep total run length under 1,000 feet and limit your chain to 32 devices maximum per DMX universe. For longer runs or more fixtures, consider DMX splitters or boosters to maintain signal integrity.
Do these cables work with all lighting consoles and fixtures?
These cables follow the DMX512 standard with proper 120-ohm impedance and standard 3-pin XLR wiring. They're compatible with virtually all professional lighting equipment including moving heads, LED fixtures, fog machines, and both analog and digital lighting consoles. The connectors fit all standard DMX inputs and outputs.
Why choose a 4-pack instead of buying cables individually?
The 4-pack provides immediate spares for critical installations where cable failure would shut down your lighting. It also covers most single-zone lighting setups without mixing cable brands or specifications. Having matched cables ensures consistent impedance throughout your signal chain, plus the bulk packaging offers better value than individual purchases.
What's the difference between DMX cables and regular audio XLR cables?
DMX cables use 120-ohm impedance specifically designed for digital lighting data, while audio XLR cables typically use 75-ohm impedance optimized for analog audio signals. Using audio cables for DMX can cause signal reflections, data errors, and unreliable fixture control. Always use proper DMX cables for lighting applications to ensure reliable performance.
