The Black Box SW1041A is a remote-controlled A/B switch designed for Ethernet CAT6 cabling. It allows you to isolate or switch between two different network paths or devices using a latching mechanism. This is critical in environments where you need to segment networks for security, testing, or to manage different data streams without physical intervention. The SW1041A supports remote control via Ethernet, RS232 serial commands, or dry contact closures, providing flexible integration into automated systems or control rooms. Its black, commercial-grade form factor is unobtrusive in most IT or security infrastructure deployments.
This switch is designed for standard CAT6 Ethernet cabling. It is compatible with any network devices or segments that utilize RJ45 connectors and require the ability to switch between two distinct pathways. Specific compatibility is not limited to a particular brand of network equipment, making it a versatile solution for diverse IT infrastructures. It can be used to switch between two different internet service providers, two different network segments, or between a primary and backup network connection for critical systems.
The SW1041A requires a separate power supply (sold separately) as it does not support Power over Ethernet (PoE). Control interfaces include an RJ45 port for Ethernet control, a DB9 connector for RS232 serial communication, and screw terminals for dry contact inputs. Ensure proper wiring for the chosen control method to achieve reliable remote switching. The latching mechanism ensures that the selected state is maintained until a new command is issued.
