cat 5 wiring
« on: December 03, 2011, »
I know the information I need is here on the site somewhere, but after spending over an hour trying to find it I am admitting defeat.   :(

What pins on a cat5 cable is RJ using to carry the dmx+ and dmx- singals?

Great! Thanks much!

Now I can get some wiring done tomorrow. I am trying to finish some RGB stuff using Cheap DMX's 5050 modules. Mainly as a learning project. But I want everything to be wired the same to avoid accidentally putting 12 volts on a DMX signal line.
