Luminex GigaCore 16Xt avec PoE

The PoE ports on this switch are rock-solid; they powered four video nodes without a single drop during a festival run. Setup was straightforward out of the box for our lighting rig, and the silent operation is a godsend backstage.

Finally a network switch that handles both my Art-Net and PoE camera feeds without a hiccup — the pre-configured AV settings saved me hours of setup. The locked RJ45 ports are a small but brilliant detail for keeping cables secure on a bumpy tour truck.

Running through a full festival week, the PoE on this switch handled power and data to my nodes without a single dropout, and the preconfigured setup meant I only had to tweak a handful of ports. It’s built like a tank but still fits neatly in a flight case, which is exactly what I need for touring.
