Swisson XSH Hybrid Splitter Wiring LEDs Made Easier

The increasing spread of LED-technology gives the lighting engineer many new prospects.

Since LED-fixtures typically have a relatively low consumption of electrical power, an increased number of fixtures can be supplied from a single power cable. At the same time, each fixture must be provided with a control signal.

Such that so called “hybrid cables”, which combine a DMX cable with XLR connectors as well as a power cable with powerCon connectors simplify the cabling.

In collaboration with customers, Swisson has designed the XSH Hybrid Splitter to fundamentally simplify the cabling of modern lighting installations.

The powerCon and the XLR connectors at the input as well as at the outputs of the XSH are arranged in such a way that they fit perfectly for “hybrid cables”.

The integrated amp meter helps to ensure that the desired current limit is not exceeded, even when a vast number of fixtures are supplied with power via an XSH.

Remote Monitoring and Immediate Diagnostics with RDM

With the RDM-option, the power consumption may also be monitored from a lighting console or from a portable hand-held device, such as the XMT-350. In fixed installations, RDM may be engaged for automatic monitoring.

Unique Range of Opto-Splitters

The new XSH product line, which specifically addresses the requirements of modern lighting installation, further extends Swisson’s wide range of opto-splitter products.

But that’s not all: Swisson will be presenting additional new opto-splitter models at the upcoming PLASA – London 2013 and LDI – Las Vegas 2013 trade shows.

If you’re unsure, which splitter product fits best for your application, the company encourages potential users to contact the Swisson sales team or their Swisson distributor.
