Because of purchase issues and for some other reasons we dismissed purchasing RDM-Repeater from market and decided to make our own RDM Repeater.
I succeeded design isolated 10-48V DC 1to1 RDM-Repeater and have made some sample production, executed "OLA RDM Responder Test" as below setup:

T:Tester
R:RDM Repeater
F:Led Fixture

T---R1---R2---R3---R4---R5---F

my tests pass successfully up to 5 cascaded repeaters , it fails at 6th cascades.
here is the snap shot of signal after 5 cascaded Repeaters in both directions there is approx 8 us delay in both directions:
