LOR to Xlights crossover cables
« on: October 27, 2021, 08:30:50 PM »
I have5 lor controllers, 2 pixie 16?s, and 2 CCR (cosmic color controllers, andapixie 8 controller. I also have a pixieLink so I can run them in DMX mode. I know I need a crossover cable to use with xlights. My eyes are not that good to make my own. So is there some place I can buy the cables?

What cables are you talking about? the CAT5? I'll be switching over from LOR after this year.

LOR controllers can run on DMX, but they use a different pinout on the cat5 cables so you need to make an adapter if you are using standard DMX and LOR devices together.

This is how I made my own using Keystone Jacks (purchased from Lowes or Home Depot many years ago).

If you connect "standard" DMX in, you get "LOR" DMX out.
The same converter will then convert "LOR" DMX to standard DMX.
