Product Description

Built with performance, flexibility, and empowering in mind, Global Connect's design is based on open systems to work with any control software or hardware, delivering a simple cost-effective way to extend the reach of any control system. Global Connect is the next generation for IP connectivity and control. The Global Connect is comprised of three elements: the chassis, the number of slots per chassis, and installed modules. The Global Caché Global Connect, GC5 with PoE, HDMI Switch, Serial includes 3 HDMI inputs and an RS232 serial port with PoE connectivity.
