Description

American Lighting 6-Channel DMX Decoder with RJ45 — PWM Control for RGB, Tunable & Single-Color Tape Light

The American Lighting REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH is a 6-channel DMX signal receiver and decoder that translates DMX signals into the PWM control signal used by RGB, tunable white, and single-color LED tape light and neon. Compatible with RJ45, XLR5, or direct wire DMX inputs and outputs, it integrates seamlessly into new and existing DMX installations. Operates in standalone mode or decoder mode, and supports both 8-bit and 16-bit PWM output resolution for precise dimming control.

Key Features

  • 6-Channel PWM Output: 6-channel capable output at 6A per channel maximum — 72W per channel at 12V DC or 144W per channel at 24V DC.
  • DMX512 RDM Decoder: Translates DMX512 signals into PWM output for direct control of LED tape light and neon.
  • RJ45, XLR5, or Direct Wire: Features female 5-pin XLR, male 5-pin XLR, and dual RJ45 In/Out connections for flexible integration into any DMX installation.
  • 8-Bit or 16-Bit PWM Resolution: Selectable 8-bit or 16-bit PWM output resolution ratio for smooth, precise dimming performance.
  • PWM Frequency: 500Hz to 30KHz output PWM frequency range.
  • Gamma Correction: 0.1 to 9.9 gamma value output dimming curve range for natural-looking dimming response.
  • Standalone or Decoder Mode: Operates in standalone mode for independent control or decoder mode when integrated into a DMX system.
  • Scalable Installations: Link multiple receivers for larger installs — each unit requires a separate DMX address.
  • Metal Housing with Digital Display: Durable metal enclosure with on-board digital display for easy configuration.
  • Wide Load Compatibility: Compatible with single color, tunable white, and RGB-based neon or tape light.
  • Input Voltage: 12-24V DC constant voltage.
  • Input Current: 36.1A maximum.
  • Output Wattage: 6 × (72–144)W.
  • Output Current: 6 × 6A.
  • Finish: Black.
  • Operating Temperature: 167°F (75°C).
  • Storage/Ambient Temperature: -4°F to 122°F (-20°C to 50°C).
  • Certifications: cULus Listed, FCC Compliant, RoHS Compliant. Dry location rated.

Connections

  • Female 5-Pin XLR In/Out
  • Male 5-Pin XLR In/Out

Frequently Asked Questions

What load types is the REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH compatible with?

The REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH is compatible with single color, tunable white, and RGB-based LED tape light and neon. It translates DMX512 signals into PWM output for direct control of these load types.

What DMX connection types does the REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH support?

The decoder supports RJ45, XLR5 (female and male 5-pin), or direct wire DMX inputs and outputs, allowing seamless integration into new and existing DMX installations.

What is the maximum output per channel on the REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH?

Each of the 6 channels supports a maximum of 6A output — equivalent to 72W per channel at 12V DC or 144W per channel at 24V DC, for a total maximum output of 432W at 12V DC or 864W at 24V DC across all 6 channels.

Can the REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH operate without a DMX controller?

Yes. The decoder supports standalone mode for independent operation without a DMX controller, as well as decoder mode for full integration into a DMX system. A 12-24V DC constant voltage power supply is required in both modes and is sold separately.

Can multiple REC-DMX-RJ45-6CH units be linked for larger installations?

Yes. Multiple receivers can be linked together for larger installations — each unit requires its own separate DMX address. Use the RJ45 or XLR5 output connections to daisy-chain units through the DMX signal path.
