Wanted 4 way db25 splitter box

**djtraximus** · 08-07-2009, 05:14

Hello, I am looking for a 4 way DB25 splitter box. I found one at this Romanian site but they dont reply to my emails.
Any one know of a source or would make me one?

i found THIS. It has a switch on it. but i would assume it can be defeated. just short all the outs of the switch together. makes sense in my mind. just not sure if there would be any sort of "noise" problem or impedance matching problems or anything.

anyone have any input?

Marc,
I made one using the exact same splitter box a few weeks ago. In fact it was in use at Robs, when you were over for StanLEM

Took an hour or two to do all the soldering, but works well

Head over to Jaycar and buy 4 of D25 IDC sockets CAT. NO. PS0846
That look like this:

1 of D25 IDC plug CAT. NO. PP0842 that looks like:

and half a meter of 26 core ribbon cable :

Remove one of the conductors from the 26 core cable to make 25 cores, then squash the connectors neatly onto the cable. A large vice can be useful for this, but half a housebrick works to make an emergency splitter.
Take care that pin one matches on all the connectors. As this is a purely passive splitter it might have some odd effects on colour modulation and scanning due to the loading of 4 lasers and 'x' meters of cable on the drive signals.

^they do? very nice. I was relying on ILDA thru connectors, but only two of my scanners have them.

There are some very respectable looking items on some of the accessories pages. Be nice to know if it is of better quality than the lasers they sell.

They sell lasershows for their software...

I wonder if those are shows made "in house" or that buyers of Laserworld equipment made.
