Biamp 910-00275 Impera Connect-X MP6

Product Overview

The Biamp Impera Connect-X MP6 is a PoE-powered multiport extender that adds serial, IR, GPIO, and LAN control to Impera controllers, control pads, and Apprimo Touch 8i control panels. It bridges the local area network and conventional AV control ports, letting integrators use structured Ethernet cabling to place RS-232, IR, and contact-closure control exactly where third-party devices live. A single CAT5e/CAT6 run carries both power and data, which simplifies AV control system integration in conference rooms and larger meeting spaces. Each LAN-connected Impera controller can host up to eight Connect-X MP6 extenders without consuming any LAN control ports.

Product Description

The Connect-X MP6 gives control system designers a flexible way to reach displays, projectors, screens, and other devices that use legacy interfaces. It provides one bidirectional RS-232/IR port with feedback, two unidirectional RS-232/IR ports, three GPIO ports for logic signaling, and LAN control of two additional IP devices. Configuration is handled in Biamp Project Designer software, so port assignments can change as room needs evolve without re-cabling. Power is delivered over PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 1, 4W), meaning one Ethernet cable handles both operation and data for a clean rack-free install at the device location. At less than one-quarter pound, the extender mounts with screws, zip ties, or double-sided tape behind a display or inside furniture. A mini USB port supports local configuration and maintenance, while dedicated power and status LEDs aid commissioning and troubleshooting. The Connect-X MP6 is UL listed, CE marked, and RoHS compliant. It fits naturally alongside Impera control pads such as the Impera Uniform 8U, and you can browse the complete range in the Biamp collection. Biamp covers the extender with a five-year warranty.

Key Features

• Multiple Control Interfaces — One bidirectional RS-232/IR port with feedback, two unidirectional RS-232/IR ports, and three GPIO ports control a wide mix of third-party AV devices.
• Added LAN Control — The extender adds control of two additional IP devices without using the host controller's LAN control ports.
• Single-Cable PoE Power — PoE (IEEE 802.3at Class 1, 4W) delivers power and data over one CAT5e/CAT6 run for a simple installation.
• Software-Configurable Ports — Port behavior is set in Biamp Project Designer, so the extender adapts as room requirements change over time.
• Scalable Deployment — Each LAN-connected Impera controller supports up to eight Connect-X MP6 extenders for larger control systems.
• Flexible Mounting — At 110 g, it mounts with screws, zip ties, or double-sided tape near the device it controls.
• Certified and Warranted — The extender is UL listed, CE marked, RoHS compliant, and covered by a five-year warranty.
