There is no error detection capability in MIDI, so the maximum cable length is set at 15 meters (50 feet) in order to limit interference. The cables terminate in a 180 five-pin Din connector. Standard applications use only three of the five conductors: a ground wire, and a balance pair of conductors that carry a +5 volt signal. Some proprietary applications, such as phantom-powered foot switch controllers, use the spare pins for direct cur...
