MA Network Switch

The MA Network Switch is the perfect device for a full lighting control solution. The combination of console, switch and networking devices provides the easiest solution even for complex lighting systems.

Designed to simplify the set-up and management of today’s lighting networks, the MA Network Switch is backed by the industry leading MA technical support team. Standard lighting terminology is used, allowing most common lighting protocols to be filtered via a web interface designed specifically for lighting technicians. The tiered interface also allows advanced functionality for experienced network engineers.

The MA Network Switch provides a local display for port status, applied filters and recognized MA equipment. Additionally it shows workload status of the switch and every single port for easier fault finding. The MA network switch is compliant with IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet and can be seamless integrated into existing Ethernet networking infrastructures. The ability to define port filtering with the common entertainment protocols combined with standard Ethernet protocols like IGMP and RSTP allow the switch to perform best in fixed installation as well as in temporary installations. The MA Network Switch is housed in a typically robust 1RU chassis, with colour coded filter and data indicators front and rear. The front panel features a single etherCON port and display screen. The rear panel incorporates 8 etherCON ports and 2 SFP cages to suit mini-GBIC fibre connections. Additionally, the MA Network Switch can be fitted with two optional heavy duty fibre connections for extended cable runs!
