A DMX splitter solves the two problems every growing rig eventually hits: daisy chains that have grown too long, and a single cable fault taking down every fixture after it. This section includes Transcension’s CS2 and S8 distribution splitters, the RS6 rackmount and the HS2 hybrid powerCON unit, alongside Avolites splitters in both rack and truss formats.

Each output on a distribution splitter is a regenerated copy of the input, so the legs run independently and a shorted cable on one line no longer kills the rest of the rig. Choose by output count against how many DMX lines actually need to leave that point, then by format: rackmount units live in control and amp racks, while a truss-format unit like the Avolites Truss DMX Splitter rigs beside the fixtures and keeps individual cable runs short. The HS2’s powerCON connectivity suits truss runs where power and data distribution travel together. Whatever the layout, terminate the end of each DMX line and run proper 110 ohm DMX cable rather than microphone cable, because signal integrity is the whole reason the splitter is there.

Nodes for Ethernet-based distribution and the cabling to wire everything sit in the neighbouring categories, with trade accounts available.
