I've only recently started using LED lights that can be controlled via DMX. It's been a steep learning curve, but well worth the effort. We have 3 of these DMX cables, and they're well worth the money we spent. They are a well constructed quality product. I just wish they were more easily distinguished from XLR cables, but I've used coloured tape to mark them. Also, don't forget to buy an DMX terminator (or two, as they're small and easy to lose).
