The Enhanced Splitter allows connection of DMX receivers (dimmers, color changers, moving lights, etc.) in a star configuration as opposed to a daisy chain configuration. In a star configuration, each control cable is run to a central point, in this case the splitter. In a daisy chain configuration all the devices are connected on one control cable, the output of one feeding the input of the next. It is good practice to limit the number of receivers on a DMX512 output to 32 devices. The Enhanced Splitter gives you five outputs from one input allowing up to 160 receivers (32 per output).

| FEATURE | BENEFIT |
| Input is electrically isolated from output. | Console is protected from failed dimmers, lightning damage, and any other cause of high voltage on the control cable. |
| Outputs are isolated from each other. | Color changers, moving lights, other dimmers are protected from each other. |
| Outputs are separately buffered. | Reflections, short circuits, etc. on one output cannot affect another output. |
| Input and output DMX lines are protected by transorb diodes. |
The splitter can withstand very high transient voltage spikes without damage. |
| Input and outputs are fused. |
DMX lines can withstand up to 120 volts continuous fault or miswiring. |
| No user adjustments. | Easy "fool proof" installation. |
| DMX pinouts are printed on the splitter. | Assists in proper control wiring. |
| Chassis is 1/10" powder coated aluminum. | Rugged and attractive for years of service. |
