IT-SP8D
8 Port DIN Rail DMX Splitter
Overview
The IT-SP8D is an ultra-compact 8 Port DIN Rail DMX Splitter
designed for use in permanent installations.
The DMX Splitter is designed to create multiple independent
branches of a DMX signal and/or to extend the usable distance of
each branch. Each of the splitter’s 8 output ports generates an
independently protected DMX signal that can travel up to 1,800
feet (550 meters).
The IT-SP8D includes a DMX Pass-Thru port for cascading DMX to
multiple splitters and provides a built-in DMX Termination switch.
All connections on the IT-SP8D feature removable terminal blocks
for easy wiring.
