SADMX100 - 100 Foot Premium Heavy Duty DMX Cable
The SADMX100 delivers professional DMX signal control for lighting designers, mobile DJs, and venues running complex lighting rigs. This 100-foot premium cable connects your lighting console to DMX fixtures, allowing precise control over intelligent lights, moving heads, and LED systems across large stages and installations.
Built with 18-gauge copper wire and genuine 3-pin XLR connectors, this cable maintains clean DMX signal transmission over its full 100-foot length. The heavy-duty construction handles the demands of touring, permanent installations, and frequent setup/teardown cycles without signal degradation or connector failure.
The premium copper conductors and precision-wound design ensure reliable DMX512 protocol transmission, preventing the flickering, dropouts, and erratic behavior that plague cheaper lighting cables. Male and female 3-pin XLR ends provide standard DMX connectivity, linking seamlessly into any professional lighting chain.
Perfect for large venues, outdoor festivals, and touring productions where lighting fixtures need to be positioned far from the control console. Works equally well for permanent church installations, theater lighting systems, and mobile DJ setups with extensive LED walls or truss-mounted fixtures.
Simply connect the male XLR to your lighting console's DMX output and the female end to your first fixture's DMX input. Additional DMX cables can chain from fixture to fixture throughout your lighting rig.
Seismic Audio backs every SADMX100 with a full one-year warranty and ships fast nationwide, giving you professional-grade lighting control without the premium price.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the maximum distance I can run DMX signal reliably?
DMX512 protocol can transmit up to 1,640 feet before requiring a booster, making this 100-foot cable perfect for most venue applications. The 18-gauge copper construction ensures clean signal transmission across the full length without dropouts or interference. For runs longer than 1,640 feet total, add a DMX booster or optical splitter to maintain signal integrity.
Can I daisy-chain multiple DMX cables together?
Yes, DMX cables are designed for daisy-chaining from console to fixture to fixture throughout your lighting rig. The female XLR end of this cable connects to the male DMX output, while the male end connects to the next fixture or cable in the chain. Most lighting controllers support up to 32 fixtures per DMX universe.
Will this work with my LED lights and moving head fixtures?
This cable works with any DMX512-compatible lighting fixture, including LED pars, moving heads, strobes, fog machines, and intelligent lighting systems. The standard 3-pin XLR connectors are universal across professional lighting equipment. If your fixtures use 5-pin XLR, you'll need a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter.
How does this compare to regular XLR audio cables?
DMX cables use different impedance specifications than audio XLR cables and are specifically designed for digital lighting control signals. While they may look similar, using audio XLR cables for DMX can cause signal reflection, data errors, and unreliable lighting control. Always use proper DMX cables for lighting applications.
What venues need a 100-foot DMX cable?
This length works well for large churches, wedding venues, outdoor festivals, and touring setups where lighting fixtures are positioned far from the control booth. Typical applications include uplighting around ballroom perimeters, truss-mounted fixtures over large stages, or architectural lighting in houses of worship with high ceilings and wide sanctuaries.
