I just call them Stage Plugs. Nice. Simple. Two syllables. No need to over exercise the tongue. By that I mean a connector that has 3 pins, one being a ground. Stage Pin Plugs, GSP, 2P&G, all those other words just add syllables! If I want something unconventional, I'll get into the extra words, but anybody who has worked a stage for awhile knows what a Stage Plug is. As for the "two blade fifteen amp U ground Edison male cap", I call them "plugs" (omit the word "Stage")
Sorry, "stage plug" is taken and refers to an entirely different animal.

So I am buying DMX cable and I will be running about 25 to 30 lights at weddings. All my lights are 3 pin XLR. I saw this DMX cable and wondered if this is pretty good. I just want to make sure I dont get any interferance as you can imagine how bad it would be if the lights started flashing during a wedding. Thanks in adavance

Reiterating what JD said, no need to buy two-pair cable if you're going to be using it with 3-pin XLRs. Any 110Ω cable should be fine.I bought a roll of that cable three years ago and have been very happy with it. I made a bunch of both 3-pin and 5-pin cables from it. Works great.
I've got some of the Gepco cable (DLC224) sitting in front of me right now. Seems like pretty decent cable to me. The only thing I don't like about it is that the 2 pairs are not individually twisted. All 4 wires from both pairs are twisted together, like the quad mic cable. I know that this isn't acceptable in industrial RS-485 situations; the pairs have to individually twisted (a la Belden 9842). It doesn't seem to be an issue in DMX systems however. I think the main reason it isn't an issue is that the second pair is officially unused. If you had a second data stream on the second pair, individually twisted pairs would have less crosstalk.
