This 10" USB Type-C to DMX Cable for PavoBulb and PixelTube from Nanlite makes it possible to control fixtures like the PavoTube LED Pixel Tube and the PavoBulb 10C via DMX. The cable features 5-pin XLR male and female connectors and a USB Type-C female connector to supply external power to compatible lights while controlling them with DMX. The PavoTube LED tube light and PavoBulb LED bulb do not have dedicated DMX ports; however, connecting this cable to the USB Type-C port on these fixtures makes them DMX capable. This dedicated USB Type-C to DMX cable also provides a female USB Type-C port to continue powering these lights with external batteries while controlling them with DMX.

Nanlite USB to DMX Cable Reviews
Good quality and works as expected
These work well with my PavoTube T8-7X light tubes. I wish they would have come with the light tubes, but they aren't very expensive so it's okay. I do like the extra charging port that they add so you can keep them powered up for longer use while in DMX mode,
Updated review on power pass through
I submitted an earlier review saying that the power pass through on this cable did not provide power via USB-C to a Pavobulb 10C, this information was partially incorrect. I was confused because I was using a 'Super Fast Charging' phone charger to supply power via USB, while the charger would power the light, it would not power it when connected through the DMX cables USB-C pass-through. This seems to be true with multiple lights and cables. However using a normal charging bank I was able to power the lights using the pass through. I tried a USB charging station with has power output of 5Vdc with some at 2.4A and others at 3A, all of these power ports worked fine through the pass through. So the key takeaway is, some fast chargers for phones will not work through the power pass through on the cable, but most USB-C power ports will work find. Overall I am very happy I was wrong about the cable.
