The Enttec USB Pro device has two ports, a male and female 5-pin XLR connector. For our purposes, the male connector (the one on the right) is what we will use to plug in our devices. The pinout is shown here:
- Pins 1, 2, and 3 are the ones we want to use.
- Pin 1 = Ground
- Pin 2 = Signal -ve
- Pin 3 = Signal +ve
- These pin numbers are true for both 5-pin and 3-pin connectors, although strictly speaking 3-pin connectors should not be used as they don't comply with the official DMX512 standard.
- See here for more information
The Lynx devices use an RJ-45 plug instead of the more expensive XLR connectors. The pinout of an RJ-45 plug is shown here:
- Pins 1 and 2 are used here
- Pin 1 = Signal -ve (Goes to pin 2 on the XLR connector)
- Pin 2 = Signal +ve (Goes to pin 3 on the XLR connector)
- For CAT 5 Pinouts Wikipedia has a great little article and pictures.
- Further information can be found at the Enttec website:
