1.0 out of 5 stars Not a DMX cable, December 19, 2011

Although both the description and packaging say "DMX Cable", the cable itself says "Professional Low-noise Mic Cable". It does not meet the DMX-512 spec for twisted pair 120-ohm cables. I called American DJ (who make these) and the tech whom I spoke with said "Mic cable, DMX cable, it's all the same thing". They are most certainly *not* the same thing and both Chauvet and American DJ (ironically) recommend not using mic cables for DMX connections.

From the USITT (creators of the DMX512 standard) FAQ:

"A common question is 'can we use a good microphone cable?' The answer here is no. While there is some tolerance allowing for 100 ohm to 120 ohm cable, simply put, microphone cable is not at all suitable because of its high capacitance and incorrect characteristic impedance. It might work in some instances, but it is not appropriate for the electronics involved and it will fail at the most inopportune times."

I'll be returning these, as I already have plenty of mic cables.

The cable is 25 feet long which is good for its price. It works perfectly with my scanner and I will buy some more of these when I get more lights.

What can I say? It works well, does the job and the price was right! I bought this for an organization and they tell me it is great.
