Showtec DB-1-8/3 DMX Splitter

Showtec DB-1-8/3 DMX Splitter

The DB-1-8/3 distributes a single DMX512 signal to eight separate branches.

Each branch has its own 3-pin XLR output, making it possible to run several fixture chains rather than routing the entire system through one long daisy chain.

Electrical isolation separates the input and output circuits.

A dedicated THRU connection passes the incoming signal onward, while LEDs indicate power and DMX signal status. Product code 50783 identifies the version with eight 3-pin outputs and no RDM support.

Main Features

• Eight branch outputs distribute one DMX universe. The splitter does not generate additional independent universes.
• The input and THRU connections use 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets. All eight isolated branch outputs use 3-pin XLR sockets.
• Electrical isolation between input and output separates the signal circuits, with LEDs providing a visible indication of signal activity.
• The 483 mm wide, 1 U housing fits a 19-inch equipment rack. A rear M10 thread accepts a suitable truss clamp.
