CueServer Mini RJ45 DMX Port Pinouts
What is the pinout and specifications for the RJ45 DMX Ports on the mini CueServer?

The "mini" CueServer family (CS-810, CS-820, CS-830, CS-PCB) use RJ45 jacks for the DMX Input and DMX Output ports (instead of the 5-pin XLR jacks found on the CueServer Pro model). These RJ45 connectors match the ESTA standard for transmitting DMX over CAT-5 wiring and are the preferred connector on many architectural grade lighting fixtures.

The following table illustrates the standard RJ45 DMX pinout and how it is implemented with CueServer:
