for the DMX, I am not sure if it would work. I know that RJ has designed a 1 to 3 DMX splitter PCB though. Also, the v3 or better LEs have a 1-2 spliiter integrated into every unit.

No.
Splitting a DMX signal that way will cause unpredictable behavior.
To properly split a DMX signal, you need some electronics that will regenerate the signal for the additional outputs. RJ has a DMX splitter PCB available that you can build up for that purpose.

The LE's have a 2way splitter (at least the V5s do).
Thanks,

While not ideal, they will work if the tail to the controller is very short. It would be better to get the ones with a male and 2 female connectors and plug it straight into the controller's RJ45.
