ADJ NET 8 – 8-Port DMX Over Ethernet Node

The ADJ NET 8 is a powerful, rackmount 8-port DMX over Ethernet node designed to streamline and expand your lighting control network. Supporting Art-Net, sACN, DMX512, and RDM protocols, it bridges modern network-based control systems with traditional DMX fixtures, allowing you to distribute multiple universes of DMX data cleanly and efficiently from a single, professional-grade hub.

Overview

Built for medium to large lighting systems, NET 8 lets you expand from a single DMX universe to eight DMX outputs when used with an Art-Net compatible lighting controller. A clear 1.7-inch LCD display and intuitive onboard menu make configuration fast and easy, while browser-based setup gives you remote access from anywhere on the network. With dual RJ45 Ethernet ports, eight 5-pin XLR ports, and the option to power the unit via line voltage or PoE (802.3af), NET 8 is a flexible backbone for both touring rigs and permanent installations.

Key Features

• 8-port DMX over Ethernet node – Expand one networked DMX universe into eight DMX outputs for large systems.
• Multi-protocol support – Compatible with Art-Net, sACN, DMX512, and RDM for maximum integration flexibility.
• 19-inch rackmount, 1U – Slim, space-saving form factor designed for professional racks and control rooms.
• 1.7" LCD display – View status, network information, and quickly adjust configuration from the front panel.
• Configurable from unit menu or web browser – Set up locally on-site or remotely over the network.
• DHCP or Static IP – Choose plug-and-play DHCP or define fixed IP addresses for permanent installs.
• Dual RJ45 network ports – 2x RJ45 In/Out for easy connection into your lighting network.
• Eight 5-pin XLR ports – 8x 5-pin XLR DMX connections (input/output configurable per design), ideal for running multiple lines across your rig.
• Flexible power options – Operates from standard 100–240V AC or PoE 802.3af for single-cable installations.
• Low power consumption – Draws only about 5.7 W @ 120V / 5.9 W @ 230V, perfect for dense racks.
• Pro-level certifications – CE, cETLus, FCC approved and rated IP20 for indoor professional use.
