Crestron CEN-SWPOE-5AC – 5-Port PoE Managed Switch with Integrated Wi-Fi Access Point

Product Overview

The Crestron CEN-SWPOE-5AC is a compact 5-port PoE managed switch with an integrated dual-band 802.11ac Wi-Fi access point, purpose-built for Crestron AirMedia and small conference room AV deployments where both a PoE switch for Crestron devices and a dedicated Wi-Fi access point for wireless presentation are needed in a single compact unit. It provides PoE ports for Crestron touch panels, AirMedia receivers, and USB extenders, while the integrated Wi-Fi access point provides the wireless presentation network for AirMedia guest device connections without requiring a separate access point installation in the conference room.

Product Description

Small and medium conference rooms with AirMedia wireless presentation deployments require two separate infrastructure components: a PoE switch for the AirMedia receiver, touch panel, and other Crestron PoE devices, and a Wi-Fi access point for AirMedia guest device wireless presentation connections. The CEN-SWPOE-5AC combines both in a single unit — 5 PoE switch ports power the conference room’s Crestron AV devices, while the integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi access point provides the dedicated wireless presentation network for guest laptops, phones, and tablets connecting to AirMedia. Single-device installation reduces the number of infrastructure components, wall outlets, and ceiling boxes required in the conference room AV installation. XiO Cloud management provides centralized management alongside other Crestron AV and networking infrastructure.
