Loading... Please wait...If you have more than 32 devices on your DMX cable, you need to provide a Splitter/Buffer to maintain the DMX signal quality. This 4 Way Optically Isolated DMX splitter/buffer will allow a total 128 down stream devices to be connected, 32 on each output. The DMX-SPLIT4 can be cascaded for even more devices up to 512.
Single 9v-12v DC power supply required. For a compatable Plug in PSU see Product PPUK 12vdc or Product PP6158919
