Installer-friendly, the CEN-SWPOE-24 is configured via a simple-to-use web browser interface and Crestron Toolbox enables device auto-discovery.

The CEN-SWPOE-24 offers control system networking made easy, providing Crestron guaranteed performance and reliability for a complete Ethernet network of touch panels, keypads, control processors and other devices in a two-space rack mount package.

A significant advance in control system networking, the 24 ports are uniquely rear-mounted for convenient use in a typical AV equipment rack.

Full IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) is furnished simultaneously, eliminating the need for additional power supplies and wiring while providing a centralized power source for numerous PoE devices, such as the TPMC-4SM touch panel, MPC-M5 controller and CEN-IDOCV Interface for Apple iPod.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet uplink/stacking ports assure ample bandwidth for the 24 high-speed 10/100 Base-T ports.

“Crestron continues to maximise system performance and simplify installation with products that capitalise on the high-speed of Ethernet and the convenience of PoE,” Crestron director of marketing Vincent Bruno says.

“When we pioneered the use of Ethernet for control system networking, we defined a whole new standard for systems integration and control.”

A front panel management port enables mirroring of any rear port for easy monitoring and troubleshooting. Customisable front panel labeling makes it easy to designate each port with clear, descriptive names.

Crestron provides an entire series of network connected, Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices with single-cable connectivity, eliminating the need for additional electrical and control wiring and resulting in clean, simplified installations.
