Some of the low cost DMX splitters are not optically isolated, the just buffer the signal. That means a power fault or ground loop on one leg of the circuit can damage gear on other ports of the splitter.
For any reasonably large rig, you want true isolation from input to output, as well as between isolation between each output.
With DMX distro gear, you really do get what you pay for.
