sessiondrummer Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Hi guys, Looking for DMX wall outlets as I'm designing an install. I've searched many pages on the web and couldn't find any. Any one got a link to anyone who supplies them??? Also whilst on this topic I am running cat5 from the splitter to the actual wall outlets then need them converting to 5 pin DMX there. is there a wall outlet that will allow a cat5 connection on the rear of the outlet but a 5 pin DMX on the user side?? Hope someone can help Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbotsmike Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Just had a quick think. Is fairly easy to do as long as you arent shy of a wee bit of DIY. Standard single socket wall box, with a blanking plate on the fronthttp://www.screwfix.com/search.do;jsession...chbutton=submit Then a chassis mount 5-pin XLR (for DMX) into a hole that you can cut/drill into the faceplate. Secured by a couple of self-tappers. http://www.neutrik.com/uk/en/lighting/204_...roductlist.aspx As for the conversion, could you not just solder the cable onto the contacts?

revbobuk Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Surely as, they are only bog-standard 5-pin XLR connectors, then any wallmount XLR outlet will do? And Cat5 cable is perfectly in spec for DMX, so a gadget like this: is all you need, if you don't want to solder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanHerbert Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Or you could purchase a 1 gang or 2 gang face plate with d cut out, then purchase the 5 pin connectors! http://www.vdctrading.com/products_gridvie...ace+plates#p521 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkPAman Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Sessiondrummer, do you mean something like this. Just put in the XLR socket of your choice. Other colours & configurations can be found close to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musht Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 You DONT want to solder solid core Cat5, it will fracture, sometime.... Use the IDC adadptors, think ETC does a face plate XLR5 to IDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sessiondrummer Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 yes thats exactly what im after!!!!!!! thank you so much chris!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musht Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 screw connection on the back it isn't a problem Dinnae with solid core CAT5 only thing to use is punch down/krone/idc terminals. Bit more choice with stranded but its a darn sight dearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
