Pathway VIA Rack-mount 12-Port PoE Ethernet Switch with RJ45 EtherCON 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 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 configuration tool, Pathscape. Port LEDs provide instant confirmation of port PoE and Link activity.

The VIA Rack-mount Ethernet switches feature robust housings that will stand up to the abuse of touring shows and theatre backstages.

Features

• 12 locking RJ45 etherCON ports (10 on front panel, 2 on rear)
• Ports support 10/100/1000Base-T speeds
