DMX 1990 / E1.11 / LOR / Wiring Cross Reference

Legacy DMX Wiring Cross Reference for Common HolidayCoro Controllers

HolidayCoro devices that use CAT5 wire for DMX signals (excluding E1.31 devices) are intended to be wired using pins 1 and 2 of CAT5 wiring (568B) for their RS485 DMX input signal. If you are using the Entec Pro/Open, LOR Dongle or LOR iDMX-1000 as an output for your DMX signal, you will need to build an adapter cable using the instructions below or you can purchase our ActiDongle which includes XLR 3 Pin and CAT5 outputs.
