Switch 18

The Green-GO Switch 18 is specifically designed for live entertainment networks, where a mix of protocols can easily overload and saturate standard off-the-shelf switches.

It features 16 Gigabit EtherCON ports in total, with 8 PoE-capable ports on the front panel, plus 2 SFP cages for fiber connections up to 2.5 Gbit/s. RGB LED indicators on the EtherCON ports provide clear status information at a glance.

The Switch 18 supports VLAN trunking and fast redundant loop configurations, making it easy to build virtual networks and maintain communication between devices across different network segments. By creating redundant loop structures, the system can automatically reroute traffic if a connection is interrupted, improving network resilience and reducing downtime.

    VLAN configuration

    Supports VLAN configuration for flexible network segmentation. VLAN trunking allows virtual networks to communicate across connected switches.

    Trunk/Loop

    Redundant ring loops with fast failover and clear fault reporting, keeping show-critical network paths up during a cable or port failure.

    PTPv2 Transparent Clock

    Minimizing PTP jitter for reliable timing distribution. This helps keep Intercom, video-over-IP, and lighting systems tightly synchronized across the network.
