PathWay® Model 7353 Tri-Channel RJ45 Cat 5 A/B/Off-Line Switch with Remote Control via Contact Closure

Overview

The PathWay® Model 7353 is a 3-channel RJ45 Cat5 A/B/Off-Line switch engineered for environments where security, control, and signal integrity are critical. Each channel independently connects a COMMON device to either of two networks—or completely disconnects via a dedicated OFF-LINE position, delivering absolute data isolation when it matters most.

Built for secure and controlled operations, the Model 7353 operates exclusively through remote contact closure, eliminating local access points and ensuring that switching actions are intentional, controlled, and protected. With independent channel control, you can manage each connection individually for precise, real-time network routing.

Designed with break-before-make switching across all 8 pins, transparent signal handling, and a rugged rackmount chassis, it delivers reliable performance in mission-critical systems—automatically defaulting to offline mode during power loss to protect your network.

  • Switches ANY RJ45 interface!

  • An OFF-LINE switch position for absolute security.

  • Exclusive Remote Contact Closure Control to switch the position of each individual channel (No front panel control)
