Pathway VIA DIN-Mount 16-Port PoE Ethernet Switch with RJ45 Connector and Empty SFP Slots

The VIA series of Ethernet Switches are designed specifically for lighting, sound and video signal distribution in all entertainment production systems, including live shows.

Unlike switches designed and marketed for office and communication applications, VIA switches are convection cooled and ship unmanaged, pre-configured and optimized for entertainment network use.

Advanced management features, including VLAN Support, EAPS Ring Protection, IGMP, and more are enabled and configured through the free downloadable software, Pathscape. Port LEDs provide instant confirmation of port PoE and Link activity.

The VIA DIN-mount Ethernet Switches provide all the same robust features of our Rack-mount Switches but in a convenient, more compact, DIN-mountable form factor, suitable for permanent installation.
