RS485 Splitter

The RS485 splitter is used in situations where multiple branches of cabling must be run to Bestlite displays or other accessories on the Bestlite RS485 bus. It takes a single RS485 input, and provides 5 outputs. The splitter is unidirectional. The input includes a 100ohm termination resistor. Each of the RS485 outputs when used, should have a 100ohm termination resistor fitted to the end of the cable. Power is provided by a 2.1mm DC barrel connector.
