 9841 data-grade cabling meets specifications for 
EIA RS-485 applications and is highly recommended (or its equivalent) 
for use with Technobeam.   
Constructing Cabling
If you need to construct cabling, you must use a shielded, two-
conductor cable with a male 3-pin XLR connector on one end and a 
female 3-pin XLR connector on the other end.  Pin 1 is the common 
(cable shield), pin 2 is the data complement (negative), and pin 3 is the 
data true (positive).
Figure 2-3.  Properly-constructed data cabling.
You should test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verify 
correct polarity and to make sure that the negative and positive pins 
are not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other.  Also, make 
sure that pin 1 is shielded.
Caution  
Do not connect anything to the ground lug 
on the XLR connectors.  Do not connect or 
allow contact between the common (cable 
shield) and the fixture’s chassis ground.  
Grounding the common could cause a 
ground loop and/or erratic behavior.
Terminators
The last device on each link must have a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum)
