No Offense, But, I would argue that the same people that use a cheap splitter are often the same people that don't terminate their DMX, and use Mic cable as DMX cable. Both of those things often work great, right up until the point that they don't. Usually 5 minutes after doors open. Just like a cheap splitter.
If I ever see an crap splitter on a rental, I would also return it for something that will protect my gear, as well as the rental house's gear..
