FAQ

How do I connect USB‑C lights to DMX?

Plug the USB‑C male connector into a compatible fixture (like PavoTube), connect the DMX male to your DMX controller, and use the USB‑C female port to power the light externally.

Can I control multiple tubes?

Yes, you can daisy-chain up to three units using standard 5‑pin DMX cables via the splitter's male and female XLR ports.

Does it support RDM?

Yes, the cable fully supports RDM (Remote Device Management) for two-way control and address configuration.

Do I need a 5‑pin to 3‑pin DMX adapter?

Only if your DMX controller uses 3‑pin connectors. Otherwise, the 5‑pin ports are ready for most pro-grade DMX systems.

Can I power the light while using DMX control?

Yes, the USB‑C pass-through port allows you to supply power from an external source while maintaining full DMX control.
