Looks good to an untrained eye like mine, are you thinking bare PCB or built up units.
I've looked at supplying kits a few times, but the time spent counting parts and putting them into bags is as more than soldering them!

I'll do the sums in the next day or so and advise pricing. Like I've said before, the DC-DC converters are a lot of the cost price, but they are essential if you want a properly isolated design.

I would also be interested in the isolated output and input version ( If you are still making both)

This design is has the input and each output individually isolated. I have also designed it so the input isolation can be omitted, but that's mainly for when it's made for P-DMX input (powered up the input CAT5).

I've done an estimate and it looks like this unit would sell for approx $95 fully built and tested.

It might be lower if enough parts are bought in bulk. The PCB and DC-DC converters are a fair bit, especially in small quantities.

Prototype is built but not tested yet.
