The LoDi-S88 Booster is the ideal solution for larger model railway layouts with long S88 bus lines or numerous connected modules. It boosts the power supply, refreshes the feedback signal, and thus ensures stable data transmission within the feedback system. Compatible with S88.2, s88N, and—via adapter—with the classic 6-pin s88 bus. We recommend using a booster after connecting a maximum of 10 S88.2 modules. Included in delivery: 12V switching power supply.
As your model railway layout grows, so does the length of the S88 feedback bus—along with the risk of voltage drops and signal interference. Especially with more than 10 modules or long cable runs, data transmission can become unstable. That’s where the LoDi S88 Booster comes in.
The S88 bus is a cost-effective and straightforward method for transmitting feedback data from your layout to the central unit or software. However, with many modules or long cable distances, the power supply may no longer be sufficient—signals can become delayed or lost entirely.
The LoDi S88 Booster solves this problem:
✅ It supplies fresh power for additional modules
✅ It reads, regenerates, and forwards data in real time
✅ It significantly increases the reliability and stability of the S88 bus
✅ Reliably powers up to 12 additional S88 modules
✅ Real-time signal regeneration – for stable, delay-free data transmission
✅ Compatible with S88.2, S88N, and legacy 6-pin S88 (via adapter)
✅ Can be powered via 12V switching power supply or directly from a model train transformer
✅ Easy integration into existing layouts
🔌 A LoDi S88 Booster should be used after 10 S88.2 modules at the latest—especially in cases such as:
