Product Description
Swisson XSH-5RR-1P4 Hybrid Splitter with Rack Mounting Kit, 5-Pin XLR, DMX & RDM
Overview
The Swisson XSH-5RR-1P4 is a 4-port hybrid DMX/RDM splitter that integrates power distribution with DMX signal management into a single rackmountable unit, designed to simplify installations in modern lighting setups. The hybrid nature of this splitter is especially valuable in systems utilizing hybrid cables that combine XLR and powerCON connectors, making it an efficient and space-saving solution for live events, studios, and architectural lighting applications.
With a powerCON 20A input and a 5-pin XLR input, the XSH-5RR-1P4 provides four pairs of powerCON 20A and 5-pin XLR outputs, allowing both power and DMX signals to be distributed together. This significantly reduces the complexity of wiring and cabling, streamlining the entire setup process. The XSH-5RR-1P4 is an ideal solution for scenarios where both DMX control and power need to be delivered across multiple devices, especially in professional lighting environments where space, time, and reliability are critical.
A standout feature of the XSH-5RR-1P4 is its built-in ammeter, which allows users to monitor the power consumption of the connected devices in real-time. This helps prevent overloading by providing accurate feedback on how much power is being drawn, and allows users to adjust the setup before the cables are pushed beyond their capacity. Additionally, the device's RDM (Remote Device Management) capability enables remote monitoring of power consumption and other diagnostics, providing valuable insights and enhancing overall system management.
The XSH-5RR-1P4 functions as both a DMX splitter and a power distribution unit. Its DMX functionality includes boosting and regenerating DMX signals to ensure that they remain strong and reliable across large installations, while also reducing issues such as signal reflection. This hybrid splitter supports RDM bidirectional communication, enabling users to remotely control and configure compatible devices via the lighting console. With optical isolation on all output ports, the XSH-5RR-1P4 guarantees safe and consistent signal transmission, even in the most demanding environments.
The unit is equipped with Neutrik XLR and powerCON connectors, which are known for their durability and reliability in professional settings. The XSH-5RR-1P4 operates on a wide voltage range (100-240V, 50/60 Hz) thanks to its auto-sensing switch-mode power supply, ensuring compatibility in various locations and venues. Its robust design and reliability make it suitable for both touring and fixed installations, where long-term performance and ease of use are paramount.
Measuring just 5.3 x 11.9 x 1.7 inches and weighing 3 lbs, the XSH-5RR-1P4 is compact and easily rack-mounted using an optional 19-inch rack mounting kit. Its intuitive design and ease of integration make it a versatile choice for lighting professionals looking to combine power and DMX management in one convenient package.
