The Simple Fix for Complex Problems
A DMX signal needs a place to stop. When your DMX chain is left open, the signal can bounce back down the line, corrupting the data for all your lights. This can cause random flickering, strobing, or a total loss of control. A terminator plug absorbs the signal at the end of the run, ensuring the data remains clean and your fixtures behave exactly as programmed.
An Essential for Every Lighting Tech
This small, inexpensive plug is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your lighting rig. Whether you're running a single daisy chain of four lights or a universe of complex fixtures, using a terminator is the number one rule for guaranteeing signal stability. Keep several in your kit to ensure you're always prepared.
