The Blizzard Pipeline Splitterally 8 is a professional 1U rackmount DMX signal splitter and booster designed to distribute DMX signals across lighting systems and support long cable runs. Its dual operating modes provide either 1x8 distribution or 2x4 dual-universe operation, while rear-panel DMX inputs and thru connections allow flexible integration into existing lighting systems. Eight 5-pin DMX outputs, electrical isolation between inputs and outputs, LED signal indicators, and powerCON TRUE1-compatible power connections provide practical connectivity for professional lighting installations.

In 1x8 mode, all eight outputs distribute the same DMX signal, while 2x4 mode separates the outputs into two groups, with outputs 1–4 handling Universe A and outputs 5–8 handling Universe B. A front-panel mode selection switch makes it easy to select the required operating configuration.

The Pipeline Splitterally 8 occupies 1U of standard 19-inch rack space and features front-panel handles for convenient installation and transportation. Its compact enclosure measures 19 × 5.8 × 1.8 inches and weighs 5.8 lbs.
