About the Crestron CEN-SWPOE-16 16-Port Managed PoE Switcher

The Crestron CEN-SWPOE-16 is a 16-port managed Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed specifically for professional audiovisual and control system installations. It serves as the central network infrastructure component, providing both data connectivity and power to a variety of PoE-enabled devices commonly found in smart buildings and integrated rooms. These devices can include Crestron and third-party IP cameras, VoIP phones, wireless access points, digital signage players, and, critically, Crestron's own PoE-powered control processors, touch panels, and interface devices. By delivering both data and power over standard Cat-5e/6 cables, it dramatically simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and eliminates the need for separate power supplies at each endpoint, enhancing system reliability and aesthetics.

As a managed switch, it offers advanced features essential for robust AV and control networks. It supports VLAN (Virtual LAN) configuration to segment traffic, ensuring time-sensitive control and video data are prioritized and isolated from general office network traffic for security and performance. Quality of Service (QoS) settings allow administrators to prioritize critical AV streams. The switch is monitored and configured via a web interface or network management software, providing detailed diagnostics, port status, and power budget management. This level of control is crucial for troubleshooting and maintaining large, complex systems. Built for 24/7 operation in commercial environments, it features a robust, rack-mountable metal chassis with reliable cooling.

The CEN-SWPOE-16 is engineered to be the networking backbone of a modern Crestron system. Its integration of high-power PoE (supporting the 802.3at standard), managed switching capabilities, and rugged build quality makes it an indispensable tool for system integrators. It ensures that all IP-based control and AV devices receive stable power and high-performance data connectivity, forming a reliable foundation for scalable and professional automation solutions.
