Have been using DMX but I have a big mess with my wiring. A combination of 5 pin and 3 pin DMX connectors, 4 an 3 pin waterproof connectors, cat5/6, some with power injection, etc
this makes it a pain of course to change things around
I would love to clean this up so I thought I'd go all cat5/6
Now my problem is that I have different types of equipment.
27 channel DMX controllers
These would not be an issue as they are inside a weatherproof box
3 channel DMX controllers
These I have mounted inside a small piece of PVC pipe with ends on it and then a wire comes out with a 4 pin waterproof connector that carries DMX and power
wall washers
these are similar as above and currently use 4 pin waterproof connectors
I don't see any good options for waterproof cat5 connections that are not crazy expensive
maybe I should forget about cat5 and just go with the 4 pin connectors. Downside of course you cant just take a cat5 cable and use it. Would have to change the connector first
what do you guys use for dmx cabling / connections
thanks
Mike
