From the Manufacturer

The NETRON FS16 is a powerful rackmount network switch featuring 12 Gigabit ports, 4x fiber ports, and PoE+ support. With a total PoE power budget of 180W, the FS16 is ideally suited to distribute data and power to NETRON nodes or any other PoE+ compatible network appliance.

Highly optimized for processing the high data volume found in today's ever-growing lighting systems, the NETRON FS16 distributes a variety of entertainment protocols without delay, ensuring instant reaction times and flawless execution.

The FS16 incorporates four dedicated preset buttons on the front, which are ideally positioned to work as a Network Selector switch. Instant recall of signal routing allows main and backup consoles or various front-of-house setups to be activated at a moment's notice and without delay. Instant network selections are also possible using an external remote control over a simple RJ45 cable, or the remote web interface.

Designed for live production and installations, the 1U rack-mount housing is convection cooled and offers direct settings from the integrated OLED display. Remote configuration is possible using the integrated web interface or the NETRON Central Utility (CLU) for easy discovery, status feedback, and feature management.
