PathWay® Model 7009 RJ45 CAT5e A/B/Off-Line Switch Modules with Contact Closure Remote Control Port
Overview
The PathWay® Model 7009 RJ45 Cat5e A/B/Offline Switch Module provides flexible network access and secure physical isolation for Ethernet-connected devices. This remotely controllable switch allows a common device to connect to either of two network paths or be completely disconnected from both through its dedicated OFFLINE position, where no data passes through the switch. Featuring manual pushbutton operation, remote contact-closure control, and transparent Cat5e-compliant switching of all eight RJ45 pins, the Model 7009 is ideal for network security, equipment testing, and applications requiring controlled network access. Its modular design supports system expansion with the Model 9030 rack, accommodating up to eight switch modules in a single rack.
