DMX splitter

[erwinredl]

Hi there,

I am looking for multiple units of UL or ETL certified DMX splitter with as many ports as possible, preferably with screw terminals and DIN rail. Any other US recognized certification would be fine as well. CE definitely not...

There's an incredibly expensive high-end ETC Response line of splitters and the also quite expensive Philips Showline splitter but considering that I need 200+ ports, those are beyond my client's budget.

Thanks for your help in advance!

CE definitely not

I just have to know... why not?

ETL: Originally a mark of ETL Testing Laboratories, now a mark of Intertek Testing Services.
CE: Conformance European (Communaut Europ enne or Conformit Europ enne)

I believe “CE” has been used to try and fool us from China.
‘CE’ Chinese Export. I’ve only heard this and can’t confirm it. But 99% plausible

As per Wikipedia:
"On commercial products, the presence of the logo CE means that the manufacturer or importer affirms the goods' conformity with European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.  It is not a quality indicator or a certification mark."
It basically means ANYBODY can put a CE logo on their product because it doesn't require an VERIFIABLE testing. It's basically just an honor system which is very different from UL, ETL, or similar where actual thorough testing is done. And that's the reason why just CE by itself is not acceptable with most clients in the US.
