The IDW212 is a wall-mount DMX optical isolator and distribution splitter designed to distribute two independent DMX universes while providing optical isolation and protected outputs throughout the lighting network. Designed for larger architectural and entertainment lighting systems, the IDW212 provides organized DMX signal distribution for facilities requiring extensive network expansion and dependable long-term operation.
Key Features
The IDW212 receives and distributes two independent DMX universes, providing a large number of output circuits for facilities with extensive lighting infrastructure. The high-output configuration allows DMX control signals to be distributed across multiple dimmer systems, architectural zones, fixture groups, performance spaces, or building-wide lighting networks from a centralized distribution point.
Optical isolation helps maintain signal integrity and improves network reliability by reducing the effects of electrical faults and signal disturbances between output branches. Protected outputs provide additional security for connected lighting equipment and control systems operating throughout the facility.
Designed for permanent installation environments, the IDW212 is housed in a wall-mount enclosure suitable for installation in electrical rooms, equipment closets, dimmer rooms, and centralized lighting control locations. Its dual-universe design simplifies system organization while supporting expansion of larger DMX-512 networks.
With support for two DMX universes, twelve output circuits per universe, optical isolation, and protected outputs, the IDW212 provides a reliable solution for distributing and protecting DMX control signals in large-scale architectural, theatrical, worship, educational, and entertainment lighting applications.
