The FEL-CD264 is the 5-channel DMX decoder for the DIN rail: RGBWW output (red, green, blue, warm white, white) at 5 amps per channel, 4096 grey levels per channel, running on DC12-24V and delivering 300W at 12V or 600W at 24V. The DMX512/1990 line lands on the terminal block, the mounting is the DIN rail the large-scale projects use, and the decoder runs as master or slave on the line. No bulbs and no drivers to buy — the decoder, the supply and the strip are the install. The range also carries the CD268 with the RJ45 socket.

The FEL-CD264 is the 5-channel DMX decoder for the DIN rail: RGBWW output — red, green, blue, warm white and white on five separate channels at 5 amps each — with 4096 grey levels per channel and the DMX512/1990 line landing on the terminal block. It is the decoder for the large-scale panels that wire the DMX on the terminals rather than the RJ45, and the electrical set is identical to the RJ45 sibling in the range.
The output is RGBWW — the RGB channels carry the colour mix, and the warm-white and white channels carry the tunable white independently, which is the set the dual-white strips and the colour-plus-white fittings run. The output is constant-voltage PWM at 5 amps per channel, so the strip and the fittings on the far side run at the voltage the supply delivers.
Each channel decodes at 4096 levels, which is the resolution the smooth dimming needs: the fades run without the stepping the 8-bit decoders show at the low end, and the slow scene changes read clean on camera. The Highlights call it smooth, soft dimming, and the 4096-level decode is the number behind it.
The DMX512/1990 line lands on the terminal block, and the controller runs as master or slave on the line: master for the standalone setups, slave for the desks and the main controllers. The terminal block is the simpler wiring for the panels without the structured cabling — the installer lands the wires directly, and the daisy-chain continues from the block.
The supply is DC12-24V, and the output power runs 300W at 12V or 600W at 24V — the higher voltage doubles the run the same copper carries. The working temperature is -20°C to +55°C, the dimension is 111×46×66mm and the weight is 135g, so the decoder is the panel-mounted unit the DIN rail carries without a shelf or a bracket.
The large-scale architectural installs, where the decoders line up in the distribution boards and the terminal blocks land the DMX per zone. Hotels and façades, where the RGBWW strips run the colour and the tunable white from one decoder per zone. Stage and studio rigs, where the CV strips need the DMX decode on the rail. And the retail and display installations, where the 4096-level decode is what the slow, camera-visible fades need.
Three decisions shape the order: the decoder count against the strip load per zone, the supply against the 300W-at-12V or 600W-at-24V arithmetic, and the DMX addressing against the zones the desk or the master runs. Count the strip metres per zone, size the supply with the headroom, and number the decoders on the rail — the terminal block carries the line in the order the panel is wired. With those three set, the install is a panel-building exercise rather than a ceiling-void project, and the next contractor reads the layout off the rail.
The DMX decoder family splits by mount and connection: the CD264 is the terminal-block decoder on the DIN rail for the panels that wire the DMX directly; the CD268 is the same 5-channel RGBWW electrical set with the RJ45 socket for the structured-cabling installs; the CD269 series runs 24 and 32 channels for the multi-zone panels; and the CD206-4 is the standalone RGBW decoder with the XLR-3, RJ45 and terminal connections for the rigs. The choice is the mount and the connection the install runs — the 4096-level decode, the 5-amp channels and the master-or-slave logic are the same across the range.
Why do buyers pick the FEL-CD264 over the alternatives? Here is what we hear from customers:
DIN rail for the large-scale installs. The decoders line up in the distribution board instead of scattering across the ceiling void — the panel the electrician wires is the panel the AV team patches, and both sides find the channels where they left them.
Terminal block for the panels without structured cabling. The DMX lands directly on the block — the simpler wiring for the installs that do not run the RJ45, with the daisy-chain continuing from the same block.
RGBWW: the colour and the tunable white on one decoder. Five channels at 5 amps each carry the colour mix and the tunable white together, which is the set the dual-white strips and the colour-plus-white fittings run.
4096 grey levels per channel. The fades run without the stepping the 8-bit decoders show at the low end — the slow scene changes read clean on camera, and the low-end dimming is where the cheap decoders fail.
Master or slave. The controller runs standalone as master or joins the desk as slave — the small installs and the big rigs run the same hardware.
Five channels — red, green, blue, warm white and white. The RGB channels carry the colour mix, and the two white channels carry the tunable white separately, which is the set the dual-white strips and the colour-plus-white fittings run.
DC12-24V. The output power runs 300W at 12V or 600W at 24V, so size the supply to the strip load and run the higher voltage where the long runs need the headroom.
Five DMX channels, one per output, with 4096 grey levels per channel. The decode is what gives the smooth, soft dimming the low-end fades need.
The terminal block — the DMX512/1990 line lands directly on the block, and the daisy-chain continues from it. The range also carries the CD268 with the RJ45 socket for the installs that run the structured cabling; the electricals are identical, and the connection is the choice.
DIN rail, for the large-scale projects. The decoder clicks into the distribution board — the panel the electrician wires is the panel the AV team patches, and the 111×46×66mm body at 135g carries on the rail without a bracket.
5 amps per channel, 5 channels — 25 amps total across the outputs, or 300W at 12V and 600W at 24V. Size the supply to the strip load and keep the headroom on the channel the long runs need.
-20°C to +55°C, which covers the distribution boards, the ceiling voids and the plant rooms the installs run the decoders in.
Yes — the controller runs as master on the DMX line for the standalone setups. Join the fittings as slaves, run the scene from the master, and the small installs work without a desk. For the shows, patch it as slave to the console.
The FEL-CD264 is the decoder for the large-scale RGBWW installs that wire the DMX on the terminals: the DIN-rail fitting that sits in the distribution board and drives the colour and the tunable white from the DMX line.
Architectural and façade lighting. The decoders line the distribution boards, the terminal blocks land the DMX per zone, and the RGBWW strips run the colour and the tunable white from one decoder per zone.
Hotels and hospitality. The dual-white fittings dim and shift on the 4096-level decode, the scene changes read clean on camera, and the DIN rail keeps the decoders in the panel the staff can reach.
Stage and studio rigs. The CV strips decode as slave to the desk, the 5-channel RGBWW covers the colour and the white separately, and the master mode runs the small rigs without a console.
Retail and display installations. The 4096-level decode drives the slow, camera-visible fades the display lighting runs, and the decoders scale across the floors on the rail.
Distribution-board installs. The decoders line up in the panel the electrician wires, the terminal block lands the line where the structured cabling stops, and the panel layout is the documentation the next contractor reads.
