The Obsidian RDM 645 is a robust and versatile 6-Port DMX/RDM splitter designed to meet the high demands of live production and permanent installations. Finished in an attractive dark gray, this compact device is engineered with six opto-isolated RJ45 outputs that ensure reliable signal transmission in complex lighting setups. Its rugged design makes it suitable for a variety of environments, providing the performance and durability required by lighting professionals.
The RDM 645 supports both DMX and RDM protocols, allowing for seamless integration with a wide range of lighting fixtures and control systems. The six locking RJ45 Ethernet DMX outputs are optically isolated, protecting the connected devices from electrical interference and ensuring clean signal integrity. This feature is essential in maintaining optimal performance, particularly in setups with long cable runs or multiple connections.
This splitter is designed with flexibility in mind, offering a variety of mounting options to accommodate different installation scenarios. It can be used in a standalone configuration, truss-mounted (using M10 or M12 mounting holes), or wall-mounted in either a horizontal or vertical orientation. Additionally, the RDM 645 can be installed on a DIN rail or in a rack mount configuration (requiring a NET Shelf), making it adaptable to various setups.
The front panel of the RDM 645 features a locking RJ45 Ethernet DMX input and six locking RJ45 Ethernet opto-isolated DMX outputs, along with an RDM enable switch for easy management of connected devices. The back panel includes an additional locking RJ45 Ethernet DMX input that parallels the front input, a DMX through connection for daisy-chaining multiple devices, and a termination switch to ensure proper signal integrity. There's also a locking power input and throughput, enhancing reliability in power distribution.
With physical dimensions of 8.5 inches in length, 5.5 inches in width, and 1.65 inches in height, and a weight of just 2.2 lbs, the RDM 645 is compact and lightweight, making it easy to transport and integrate into existing setups. The unit operates within a power range of 100-240 V at 50/60 Hz, with a maximum power consumption of 10W, ensuring efficient operation while minimizing energy use.
Constructed from durable powder-coated aluminum, the RDM 645 is designed to withstand the rigors of professional use while maintaining a clean and professional appearance. It meets essential safety and quality standards, holding certifications from CE, cETLus, and FCC, along with an IP20 rating, indicating its suitability for indoor use.
