DMX 5-Pin to RJ45 Adapter — Male & Female

The DMX 5-Pin ⇄ RJ45 Adapter lets you run DMX512 control over Cat5/5e/6 data cable, bridging standard 5-pin XLR lighting gear with fixtures, nodes, and wall plates that use an RJ45 DMX port. It’s a passive pin-to-pin breakout (not Ethernet), ideal for quick patching, installs, and touring rigs.
