Pathway Connectivity PWVIARMP12RJ45ECSFPS 12-Port VIA Rack-Mount, RJ45 EtherCON, Empty SFP Slots, PoE Enabled

The VIA™ series of Ethernet Switches are specially engineered for the unique demands of lighting, sound, and video signal distribution in live entertainment production systems. Built with rugged cast aluminum construction, truss mount accessories, silent operation, and ruggedised etherCON connectors, these switches are versatile, fitting seamlessly backstage, on the rail, in a rolling rack, or in the booth. Unlike typical office and communication switches, VIA switches come pre-configured and optimized for entertainment network use, with advanced management features like VLAN Support, EAPS Ring Protection, IGMP, and more accessible through the free configuration tool, Pathscape. Even without Pathscape, many features can be configured using the front panel display and rotary encoder.

The PWVIARMP12RJ45ECSFPS comes with 12 RJ45 etherCON ports, 2 empty SFP slots, and PoE compatibility in a single RU configuration. With instant confirmation of port PoE and Link activity through port LEDs, the VIA Rack-mount Ethernet switches are built to endure the rigors of touring shows and theatre backstages.
