boost and splits the signal into four separate output channels. Each
output channel and the input channel are completely electronically
isolated from each other to avoid unwanted signal crosstalk that can
cause erratic behavior.
All four output channels have independent output drivers. A 3-pin and
5-pin output connector is provided per a channel allowing the output of
each channel to double when using both connectors at once.
