5. Insert each of the wire ends into 

the appropriate terminal (see 
illustration on right and Table 1 
above) and fasten using a small 
flathead screwdriver.

6. Push and insert the chuck into the 

housing (note that there is a 
raised key on the chuck to ensure 
that it is oriented correctly).

7. Fasten the bushing using a 

wrench to a torque of 2.5 Nm (1.8 lb.-ft).

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! The current load of all devices connected to AC mains 
power in one interconnected chain via the RDM 5.5 Splitter’s power 
throughput outlet must not exceed 19.6 amps.

Devices can be linked in a chain, power throughput to power input, so that 
they all draw AC mains power via the RDM 5.5 Splitter’s Neutrik 
PowerCon power throughput socket, but certain points must be 
respected:
• Power cable that meets the requirements specified on page 5 of this 

manual must be used to connect the RDM 5.5 Splitter to AC mains 
power and to connect all the devices in the chain to each other.

• A light-grey Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCB cable-mount connector must 

be used to draw AC mains power from the RDM 5.5 Splitter’s power 
throughput socket and a blue Neutrik PowerCon NAC3FCA cable-
mount connector must be used to supply power at the RDM 5.5 
Splitter’s power input socket.

• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, the current draw of all 

the devices that draw AC mains power in one interconnected chain 
from the power throughput socket of an RDM 5.5 Splitter that is 
connected directly to AC power must not exceed 19.6 amps total.
