Product Description
Swisson XSH-5BR-1P4 Hybrid Splitter Box, 5-pin XLR, DMX & RDM
Overview
The Swisson XSH-5BR-1P4 is a versatile 4-port hybrid DMX/RDM splitter that integrates power distribution with DMX signal splitting, making it a highly efficient solution for modern lighting setups. This unit is particularly useful in systems utilizing hybrid cables, which combine both XLR and powerCON connectors. Designed to simplify installations, the XSH-5BR-1P4 is ideal for use in professional stage lighting, architectural lighting, and event production environments, offering a seamless and reliable way to manage both DMX signals and electrical power in a single unit.
This model features a powerCON 20A input and 5-pin XLR input, along with four pairs of powerCON 20A and 5-pin XLR outputs. The ability to distribute both DMX signals and power through one unit significantly reduces the complexity of cabling in setups that use hybrid cables. The built-in ammeter ensures easy monitoring of power consumption, allowing users to proactively prevent cable overloads by taking action before limits are reached. Additionally, RDM (Remote Device Management) capability enables remote monitoring of current draw, offering enhanced control over the entire system.
The XSH-5BR-1P4 provides four optically isolated DMX outputs, boosting and regenerating the DMX signal to maintain signal integrity and reduce issues such as signal reflections. This ensures that even in complex installations, DMX signals are delivered reliably to all connected devices. The unit also supports RDM functionality, enabling bidirectional communication and real-time feedback between RDM-compatible devices and the lighting controller. Designed for durability and long-term reliability, the XSH-5BR-1P4 includes high-quality Neutrik connectors and a robust switch-mode power supply for consistent operation across a wide voltage range (100-240V, 50/60 Hz).
The XSH-5BR-1P4's compact design, measuring just 5.3 x 11.9 x 1.7 inches and weighing 3 lbs, makes it ideal for use in both portable and installed setups. The unit can be mounted using an optional 19-inch rackmount kit, allowing it to be easily integrated into standard rack configurations. Its intuitive design, combined with its ability to handle power and DMX signal distribution simultaneously, makes it a practical and efficient choice for professionals seeking to streamline their lighting setups.
