SW1956CT
2-In, 1 Out CAT-5 Auto-Switcher
The SW1956CT is a 2-In, 1-Out CAT-5
Auto-Switcher. The SW1956CT automatically
switches on signal detection, but may also be
controlled manually if desired. The SW1956CT is
designed to switch Altinex CAT-5/6 Twisted Pair
Transmitter and Receiver signals. These include
Altinex part numbers DA1920SX, DA1921SX,
DA1930CT, DA1931CT, MT103-115 and
MT103-116.
The unit is encased in a solid metal enclosure and
ships with an external, 9V 500mA, power adapter.
Also included is an external contact-closure switch
for manual override of input selection.
Manual override switching is made via a contact
closure on the INPUT SELECT jack. This switch
may be used for manual control, or the contact
closure may be controlled from a control system.
The SW1956CT is perfect for applications that use
wall or floor plates for auto switching. The
SW1956CT may be mounted to furniture or other
suitable surfaces using optional hardware.
