The CEN-SWPOE-16 offers control system networking made easy, providing Crestron® guaranteed performance and reliability for a complete Ethernet network of touch screens, control processors, servers, and other devices in a single-space rack mount package. All 16 ports are Gigabit capable to ensure maximum bandwidth for multimedia and critical control data. All ports are located on the rear of the unit while the front panel provides clear indication of each port's status, providing an ideal form factor for use in a typical 19" AV equipment rack. Customizable front panel labeling makes it easy to designate each port with a friendly, descriptive name.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is furnished simultaneously across all 16 ports, providing a centralized power source for numerous PoE powered devices and eliminating the need for cumbersome power supplies and extra wiring. The CEN-SWPOE-16 provides full PoE (802.3at Type 1) from all 16 ports simultaneously. It also supports PoE+ (802.3at Type 2) from any port, delivering a maximum of 34.2 Watts per port up to a total of 255 Watts for all ports. PoE at each port can be switched on and off via a Crestron control system allowing equipment to be shut down to save power when not needed.

Advanced configuration of the CEN-SWPOE-16 is enabled through an intuitive Web browser interface. Port mirroring capability allows for monitoring and troubleshooting.
