Opto isolatated repeater for RDM - E1.20 RDM (Remote Device Management) Protocol Forums

Welcome! There are a lot of timings that are very specific for DMX512 and even more so for RDM that it's unlikely you would be able to reliably use a generic RS485 repeater. There are very specific timing requirements for RDM that you'll really need a product designed for that purpose. There are a number of companies out there that have 1 port repeaters or 2 port splitters that would work for this. Check with companies like Fleenor Design, or Artistic Licence for example.
