{"product_id":"rdl-ru-tpda","title":"RDL RU-TPDA – Format-A Twisted Pair Distributor, 1 In 4 Out","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the RDL RU-TPDA?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RDL RU-TPDA is a Format-A twisted pair signal and power distributor that takes one Format-A input and feeds four Format-A outputs. A LOOP OUT jack and power bus let up to 10 distributors link together for 40 outputs, with further expansion possible. Three dual-LED VU meters show the level on each audio pair, and the module powers all connected senders and receivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/ru-tpda.jpg\" alt=\"RDL RU-TPDA Format-A twisted pair distributor\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe RU-TPDA INPUT RJ45 jack accepts a twisted pair cable from one or more Format-A senders. Input circuits bridge the cable pairs, so the LOOP OUT jack can daisy-chain the signal to more distributors. Up to 10 distributors can be chained for 40 outputs, and one output can drive up to 10 more distributors for larger systems. Front-panel dual-LED VU meters monitor each of the three Format-A audio pairs. The module runs from 24 Vdc through either power jack or a detachable terminal block, and that power is fed to all modules on the input and output jacks. Each OUTPUT jack is protected by an automatically resetting fuse, and a rear LED for each jack helps identify wiring faults. A power bus and included jumper cable let several distributors share one power supply. Three distributors fit in one rack unit in the MAX RACK-UP chassis, using accessories such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-rc-1ur\"\u003eRDL RC-1UR\u003c\/a\u003e.
