The Enttec USB Pro device has two ports, a male and female 5-pin XLR connector. For our purposes, the female connector (the one on the left) is what we will use to plug in our devices. The cable will need a male connector to mate with it. The pinout is shown here:
The following are the pinouts, assuming TIA-568B for the RJ45 end.
- For the Lnyx Equipment
- XLR Pin 1 (GND) ----> N/C
- XLR Pin 2 (-ve) ----> RJ45 Pin 2 (Orange)
- XLR Pin 3 (+ve) ----> RJ45 Pin 1 (White/Orange)
- For the Light-O-Rama Equipment
- XLR Pin 1 (GND) ----> N/C ?
- XLR Pin 2 (-ve) ----> RJ45 Pin 5 (White/Blue)
- XLR Pin 3 (+ve) ----> RJ45 Pin 4 (Blue)
- 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:
- For CAT 5 Pinouts Wikipedia has a great little article and pictures.
