DMX and XLR cable compatibility?

sunnyMember

Hi there,

I have an Enttec DMX USB Pro box, which plugs into my dimmer pack via the 5 pin dmx end on the enttec end, and a 3 pin end on the dimmer pack end.

If i need a longer length (currently i have a 63ft dmx lead and i need to run it about 100ft, so need about 40ft worth of extension), can i plug a 3 pin XLR lead into the 3 pin DMX end to extend it? (just because i already have a 50ft XLR cable, so it would mean I don't have to buy another DMX lead...)

Thanks,

Audio XLR cable may work,but you are better
off using DMX cable due to the resents.audio XLR works in a pinch but for long term use .
