ADJ announces launch of the Data Distro 6, a professional-grade DMX and RDM splitter designed to optimize lighting control systems. Built for touring productions, permanent installations, and temporary events, the Data Distro 6 is designed to provide 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,” the announcement states. “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.
The Data Distro 6 is compact and weights 1.83lbs. / 0.83kg with a 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,” comments 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 authorized ADJ dealers and distributors in the USA. It is due to begin shipping from ADJ Europe in May/June. To find out more, visit: www.adj.eu/data-distro-6
