Pathway 8-Port Rackmount DMX/RDM Repeater with RJ45 EtherCON and Front Panel Connectors

The Pathway DMX Repeater series of opto-splitters are an essential component of DMX distribution systems, permitting star-wiring configurations while isolating and protecting equipment from electrical faults.

RDM Hub models provide Ethernet-type intelligence features on a pure DMX512 network. The front panel allows the unit to be used as an RDM controller.

Other advanced features include input sensing, prioritization between two controllers, or HTP merging of two sources with one source able to roam - ideal for incorporating remote focus units.

Features

• Gold-plated XLR Contacts
• No fuses - self-resetting port protection recovers from voltage faults
• Truss-mount (PWACC TMLG) and Wallmount (PWACC WMLG) accessory kits available
• Silent, fan-less operation
• Rack-mount ears included
• Also available in DIN-mount (PWREP DIN) and Wall-mount (PWREP WM) form factors
• 8 bi-directional DMX512 Ports
• Three modes: RDM, Merge, and Hub
• Fully configurable from the front panel interface
• RDM Discovery and end device management from the front panel
• RDM enable/disable on a port-by-port basis
• Merge two controllers without additional equipment
• Automatically switch a console between locations by simply unplugging and replugging the console
• User-configurable DMX output speed and signal loss behavior
