OVERVIEW
10-Port Ethernet Switch
The PRG Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch provides a powerful and convenient interface between V676®, Virtuoso®, or DMX512 control consoles and their control equipment. The 10-Port Ethernet Switch offers two types of connections: isolated copper Ethernet ports and fiber optic ports. The fiber optic ports provide the ability to send fast and reliable information up to 2 kilometers away without the need for repeaters using Virtuoso Fiber Optic Cable. The copper Ethernet connections offer the ability to combine standard copper connections with fiber optic transmissions.
Note: Copper connections are limited to a maximum distance of 300 feet.
The 10-Port Ethernet Switch automatically determines the speed of each network connection based on the equipment connected to the switch and supports multiple connections with transmission and reception occurring simultaneously.
Features
- Seven isolated copper Ethernet ports for input of 10Base-T and 100Base-TX standard signal (Neutrik® EtherCon® connectors).
- Three fiber optic Ethernet ports for transmission of 100Base-FX standard signal. Two ports allow use of a Fiber Optic Cable input connector and one port allows use of a Fiber Optic Cable output connector.
- Automatic detection and configuration of input signal speed.
- Link, Transmission, and Reception status LEDs for all ports.
- Neutrik® PowerCon® connector for input AC supply.
- DC power status LED.
- Standard 1U 19″ rack mount chassis.
Included Items
- The following illustration shows all items included with this model:
Controls and Indicators
The Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch contains the following connections and LED indicators.
INSTALLATION
Installing Ethernet Switch
A Series 400 Ethernet Switch can be used independently or installed directly in a Series 400 rack chassis, using any blank space above the LED Meter Module.
To install in Series 400 rack
- Step 1: Install Ethernet Switch as required in top portion of rack chassis.
- Step 2: At Ethernet Switch rear panel, connect AC Line Cord 208V PowerCon® Cable (supplied) to Neutrik® connector.
- Step 3: After power is applied, verify that ON indicator is lit.
- Step 4: At the front panel, connect data cables as required. Refer to “Connecting Ethernet Switch to System”.
Connecting Ethernet Switch to System
The Series 400 10-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using both CAT5e copper wire and armored fiber optic cable. Copper wire communication ports conform to 10/100Base-Tx standards and the fiber ports conform to 10 /100Base-Fx standards. The Series 400 7-Port Ethernet Switch connects Ethernet devices using only CAT5e copper wire.
The following example system diagrams illustrate an Ethernet Switch being used with a Series 400 Power and Data Distribution Rack.
