PathWay® Model 7305C Single Channel RJ45 Cat5e A/B Switch with Exclusive Voltage Remote Control, 24VDC RoHS & CE Compliant
Overview
The PathWay® Model 7305C shares a single RJ45 device/network among two other RJ45 devices/networks on ports A and B. The devices can only be switched via a Supervisory Remote Control connected to the DB9 Voltage Control Port. The voltage control provides low power dry contact logic to allow the control of the switch position to and from the A or B positions. The PathWay® Model 7305C is RoHS Compliant and CE Certified.The Model 7305C is enclosed in a slim all metal, black chassis designed to provide EMI/RFI shielding and mount on a standard DIN Rail. There is no "local" or front panel switch control on the unit. The Model 7305C can ONLY be switched remotely via the DB9 Remote port located on the bottom of the unit.
