DMX RGB controller and leads

Hi,


I'm struggling to find an equivalent for this DMx RGB controller, if I can't I was going to get some 5 pin DMX leads but I don't know what plug I would need for the LED ( see second photo) any advice please? Cheers

What are you trying to do? What do you have ? need? All I see is a photo of something you asked for an equivalent. Is it no good?
 
They are powering RGB LED lights around an Grosvenor casino floor sign , the DMx leads were accidentally stripped out and thrown away now they've realised the floor display doesn't light up. So I'm left with disconnected Controllers , a bunch of 6 core cables snipped and left in trunking , Either I try to get the existing controllers working and get new DMX leads or find an equivalent . To be honest I'm inclined to go with the former but I'm having trouble finding a plug and lead for the LED

The LED sockets seems to be a standard 8 pin DIN socket. It is not a "mini DIN" socket. Standard DIN normally do not have a latching mechanism, whereas mini-DIN usually does.
Ones like:
Note that there are 2 types of 8 pin DIN plugs, each with slightly different degree offset for the pins. Normally it is the 270 degree plug unless something special is required.
