INTRODUCTION  
The OPTO BRANCH 8is a 19” single rack space, 8-way DMX distributor/booster with  
5-pin XLR input and output jacks. This unit takes the incoming DMX signal and splits it to  
eight (8) separate outputs, each providing a total electrical isolation of up to 1000V  
between different branches in a daisy chain group. This greatly decreases problems with  
ground loops and efficiently buffers and magnifies the DMX signal, making it more  
accurate and reliable. All outputs include 5-pin XLR sockets, which are electronically  
isolated from each other to ensure uninterrupted data. In addition, each output has  
dedicated drivers to boost the incoming signal.
