NEW Pathway PWREP Rack-Mount 8-Port DMX Repeater, Front 3-Pin XLR Opto Splitter

DMX Repeater, Rack-mount, 8-Ports, XLR 3-Pin Female, Front Panel Connectors, DMX Only

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. The NEW Pathway PWREP Rack-Mount 8-Port DMX Repeater is designed for reliable DMX512 distribution in permanent installs and touring racks, with all connectors on the front panel for clean, accessible patching.

Reliable DMX512 Distribution for Star Wiring

Use the PWREP to split a single DMX512 line into 8 isolated outputs while maintaining signal integrity across multiple runs. This star-wiring approach simplifies routing to trusses, dimmer rooms, or stage zones and helps prevent a problem on one line from affecting the rest of the system.

Protection and Signal Control

Each port is protected with self-resetting protection that recovers from voltage faults, so there are no fuses to replace during a show or service call. A DMX line termination switch makes it easy to properly terminate the line when needed, and gold-plated XLR contacts support consistent connections in high-use environments.
