Product Information

The Hosa DMT485 is a DMX512 terminator adaptor designed to properly close a 5-pin XLR daisy chain in lighting and effects control systems. Built by Hosa, a cable manufacturer trusted across live sound and lighting rigs, this terminator incorporates a 120-ohm resistor to safely terminate the signal line, preventing reflections and signal degradation that can occur when a DMX chain ends without proper impedance matching.

The adaptor features a male XLR 5-pin connector for direct integration into the final node of a DMX-512 network. The 120-ohm terminating resistor is the critical specification here–it matches the characteristic impedance of DMX512 cable, ensuring clean signal transmission across the entire chain. This is essential for reliable control of moving lights, dimmers, and other intelligent fixtures, particularly in larger installations where cable runs are extended and noise immunity becomes paramount.

Features
  • XLR 5-pin male connector for DMX512 daisy chain termination
  • 120-ohm terminating resistor for impedance matching
  • Prevents signal reflections and degradation at chain end
  • Compact, rugged construction for touring and permanent install
  • Compatible with standard DMX512 lighting control protocols
  • Hosa engineering and quality standards throughout
  • Essential for chains exceeding 300 metres or high-noise environments
  • Simple plug-in installation, no tools or configuration required
