Product Description
ETC RSN-OPTO-16R Response Opto-Splitter - 16 Port RJ45 Rack-mount
ETC Part #4267A1033
From small stage productions to large architectural installations, ETC provides the systems, expertise, and equipment for data distribution. ETC’s aim is to provide seamless service and integration for those systems backed by our core competencies and development expertise. Response Opto-Splitters provide DMX distribution with integrated RDM capability, giving our users a true, fully-integrated ETC system with data communication that meets all your needs.
Infrastructure that embraces change
ETC fixtures keep getting smarter. With a fully integrated setup, users can utilize our update tool, UpdaterAtor, to access the latest firmware for their system. With ETC gateways, opto-splitters, and fixtures, users don’t have to fight infrastructure to update easily.
The ins and outs of power and data
You want your system to be tamperproof, but accessible. On the Response Opto-Splitter, the mounting configurations are completely customizable to the user. On tour? You might want all your ports on the front. Permanent installation? Try the back.
Data where you need it
DIN rail and wall-mount splitters are a contractor’s best friend. The included 48 VDC power supply makes installation straightforward.
UL 924 Listed
The Response Opto-Splitter is approved for the U.S. emergency controls standard UL 924 when DIN Rail mounted in the OPTO-BOX or OPTO-DBOX configurations. This means the Opto-Splitter is a safe and reliable way to distribute control bypass instructions as part of your emergency lighting system.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DMX512
Often shortened to DMX (Digital Multiplex), this communication protocol is used mainly to control dimmers and multi-parameter fixtures. A universe of DMX is defined as 512 channels. DMX sends a nearly continuous stream of level information for each control channel. It is a form of RS-485 digital serial communication.
RDM
Remote Device Management (ANSI E1.20) is a protocol enhancement to DMX512 that allows low-speed bidirectional communication between a system controller and attached RDM devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol allows remote configuration, status monitoring, and management of devices.
