    I have bought boxes of cables from these guys at my previous job, they seem to have the best prices around too... I didn't have any luck with the DMX cable there but you may have a better search term.

    You want a db-25 "printer or parallel cable" NOT a db25 serial cable.
    For the dmx you want a 5 pin xlr dmx cable. 5 pin is the standard but you can also find 3 pin xlr, like a mic cable.

    Only buy 5 pin if you have 5 pin connectors on your fixtures. Whilst it may be the standard, most are now on 3 pin so save yourself the bother of having to convert from one to the other. The cable used is usually still the same anyway.

    Thumbs up

    This is the best deal (Amazon.com) I've found for ILDA cable. 50 ft for $17. (Was $13, but they had a price increase.) I have 3 of these, and they're great.

    I just sold him my fb3 with dmx so I am assuming that he wants it fir that.
    It has a 5pin on it.

    Rgb. Be sure to look at the pins on your controller. You might need a 3to 5 converter.
