A DMX splitter is an electronic box that takes one DMX line and converts it into 2 or more DMX Lines. Very handy when you have fixtures in different locations and they cannot easily be incorporated in one 'daisy chain - Some DMX Splitters have both 3-pin and 5-pin connectors for in and out, others might be either 3-pin or 5-pin. You should always use a DMX splitter and not use a Y-cable as this can cause reflection on the line and weakens the signal.
