Product Description
Pathway Connectivity PWPP RM P8 XLR5F FRTRR Pathport, Rack-mount, 8-Ports, XLR 5-Pin Female, Front and Rear Panel Connectors (Old Part #6425)
Connect DMX512 control devices and send data over an Ethernet network to DMX512-capable end devices such as intelligent lighting fixtures, LEDs, Dimmers, and more. Each port can be configured as an Input or Output as needed. Advanced features include extensive protocol support, slot-by-slot patching using multiple sources, cross-fading on priority change, and signal loss behavior. Multiple connector options are available, such as 5-Pin XLR, terminal block, and RJ45 etherCON®. Status LEDs for each port provide instant confirmation of DMX activity and direction. The LCD display and encoder knob allow for front panel configuration and reporting of the most commonly used features, such as IP address and subnet mask, port direction, and protocol selection. Different Ethernet protocols may be merged together and prioritized.
