ADJ has launched its Data Distro 6, a professional-grade DMX and RDM splitter designed to optimise lighting control systems with reliability and efficiency. Built for touring productions, permanent installations, and temporary events, the Data Distro 6 ensures seamless data distribution for complex lighting setups.
With six optically isolated 5-pin outputs, the Data Distro 6 provides stable DMX signal distribution, reducing interference and ensuring consistent performance across fixtures in large lighting systems.
Each output features dedicated power and signal LED indicators for real-time monitoring, allowing lighting technicians to troubleshoot and manage their systems effortlessly. The unit also features 5-pin DMX input and thru connections, which can be used to link up to 32 Data Distro 6 devices within a single system.
When the thru connection is not in use, a switch allows the activation of a termination mode to further reduce noise by preventing reflections. A separate switch toggles between traditional DMX512 and DMX + RDM to allow support for bi-directional communication between compatible fixtures and control systems.
Designed for easy implementation, the Data Distro 6 is compact and lightweight (just 1.83lbs. / 0.83kg) with a rugged metal housing.
Its barrel shape has a built-in channel designed to sit over a standard 1.96″ / 50mm truss beam and the device is supplied with hook and loop fastener straps to hold it in place.
Alternatively, a bracket is also supplied which can be used to connect a mounting clamp (sold separately). To aid with cable management, the output sockets are located on one side, while the input and thru connections – as well as a locking power input socket – are positioned on the other side.
“Part of ADJ’s expanding suite of data distribution tools, the new Data Distro 6 is engineered to meet the demands of modern lighting professionals,” commented ADJ USA’s Director of Sales, Alfred Gonzales.
“Offering enhanced workflow efficiency from a compact and intuitively designed device, it ensures uninterrupted performance for any DMX system. Whether for a concert venue, theatrical production, nightclub or one-off event, this robust DMX splitter is easy to integrate and delivers dependable performance.”
The ADJ Data Distro 6 is now available through authorised ADJ dealers and distributors in the USA. It is due to begin shipping from ADJ Europe in May/June.
