USER MANUAL NS6/NS12P/NS12PF
Do not connect or disconnect the PowerCon® connector under load.
Protect the power lead from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus. When damaged, replace the power lead.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
The NS12PF Ethernet switch contains two Class 1 laser devices. When
unconnected, the covers in the connector should block light emitted
by these devices. However, as additional safety measure, do not look
directly into this connector at any time.
The used laser-based transceivers are classified as AEL Class I (U.S.
21 CFR(J) and AEL Class 1 per EN 60825-1 (+A11). They are eye safe
under normal operating conditions and under all reasonably fors-
eeable single fault conditions per EN60825-1. TUV Rheinland has
granted certification to these transceivers for laser eye safety and
use in EN 60950 and EN 60825-2 applications.

USER MANUAL NS6/NS12P/NS12PF
Chapter 1 Description
Chapter 1: Description
Application
Ethernet is commonly used as the main communication standard
in computer networks. Standard network switches are typically
designed for installation purposes, and not specifically for the rigours
of entertainment touring.
Unlike DMX, Ethernet can only be designed as a star network, with
every device only having a single in/output port, so if multiple devices
are used on a single location, an Ethernet switch must be used to
connect these to eachother.
Features
The DataMotion Ethernet switch product line comprises 3 models.
All of these feature:
- 10/100Mb IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX on all RJ45
ports
- 1Gb IEEE 802.3 1000BASE-SX Multimode on Neutrik
OpticalCon® fiber optic ports (NS12PF Ethernet switch only)
- IEEE 802.3AF Power over Ethernet capability (NS12P and
NS12PF Ethernet switch only)
- Auto Crossover
- Auto Polarity
- Auto Negotiation
- Internal failure diagnostic (NS12PF/NS12P Ethernet switch
only)

USER MANUAL NS6/NS12P/NS12PF
Power over Ethernet
The IEEE 802.3AF Ethernet Protocol allows the XLNT NS-product
range to transport both power and Ethernet data on a single CAT5,
CAT5E or CAT6 compliant Ethernetcable.
An IEEE 802.3AF compliant Power over Ethernet device uses a ne-
gotiation procedure to establish if and how much power should be
allocated. The implementation of this negotiation procedure allows
powered and unpowered devices to be interconnected, without any
risk of damage.
The IEEE 802.3AF Ethernet protocol states that power will be pro-
vided on 2 unused datapairs in Ethernet cables. This protocol also
allows the use of Midspan power injection.
Since these wires are thin, a limit has been set in order to avoid any
risk of overcurrent or loss of electrical power due to wire resistance.
During the negotiation procedure a PoE classification will be sent.
This classification determines how much power will be required and
allocated. The output power per port is higher than the maximum
consumption to allow for energy loss in Ethernet cables.
When all of the available power of an Ethernet Switch (like the NS12P
Ethernet switch) is allocated, a protection mode will be activated,
which will stop the allocation of power to newly connected devices.
Example:
When connecting 11 Class 2 devices to an NS12P Ethernet switch
(maximum allocatable power is 100 Watts) the total amount of al-
located power is 11x 7 Watt = 77 Watt.
When connecting 6 Class 3 devices to an NS12P Ethernet switch the
total of allocated power is 6x 15 Watt = 90 Watt.

Class 0 15,4 Watt 12,95 Watt Unknown Power
Class 1 4 Watt 3,84 Watt Low Power

class 4 15,4 watt 12,95 watt Reserved (power as Class 0)
14
USER MANUAL NS6/NS12P/NS12PF
Connecting another Class 3 device (15 Watt) would lead to an allo-
cated power of 105 Watts, exceeding the maximum of 100 Watts. This
port will therefore not be enabled.
Disconnecting one of the other Class 3 devices will result in enough
unallocated power to enable this newly connected device.
When an 802.3AF compliant Ethernet Switch allocates power to an
attached device, it will use pins 4/5 and 7/8 as positive and negative
conductors. These pairs are unused in other standards and reserved
for this use. Please note that an RJ45 connector needs to be com-
pletely wired to allow for this functionality.
Copper Ethernet cabling
Ethernet is typically transported on a 4-twisted pair cable. Multiple
types of cable are available these days, conforming to various stan-
dards, with and without shielding.
For 100 Mbit Ethernet a CAT5 cable is a minimum requirement.
Maximum operational cable lenghts are typically 95 metres with
UTP (unschielded twisted pair) cables, 50m with SFTP (shielded foil
twisted pair), FTP (foil twisted pair) or STP (shielded twisted pair)
cables.
In industrial and office environments the use of a RJ45 connector
is common. The XLNT Ethernet switches are fitted with compatible
Neutrik EtherCon® connectors. Please note that the use of certain
Ethernet devices may imply a specific ethernet system layout. Always
refer to that devices' manual for details.
Fiberoptic Ethernet Cabling (NS12PF Ethernet Switch Only)
The NS12PF Ethernet switch is supplied with 2 Fiberoptic Ports.
These ports are to be used with Neutrik OpticalCon® cabling only.
The 4 metal pins in this connector are left unused in the NS12PF
Ethernet switch.
The transceivers used in the NS12PF Ethernet switch are emitting
data in multimode, 125/50 mm.
The maximum operational cable length is typically 550 metres with-
out couplers. Observe proper handling instructions from Neutrik at
all times.

Installation requirements
The NS6 Ethernet switch is designed for use with a hookclamp (not
included)
Use a clamp that is appropriate both for the object it is attached to
and the weight of the NS6 Ethernet switch.
Mount this clamp onto the bracket which is attached to the NS6
Ethernet switch with M10 Nylock nuts and M10 bolts. It may be
required to remove the bracket. Please observe the position of the
nylon and metal rings.
After attaching a NS6 Ethernet switch to a truss, secure the NS6
Ethernet switch with the supplied safety attachment.
DO NOT use a NS6 Ethernet switch in a wet/damp environment.

Installation requirements
The NS12PF Ethernet switch is designed for 19” rack-mount use.
Mount the NS12PF Ethernet switch with racking screws in a 19”
cabinet. Use support strips as necessary to support the rear of the
device.
Adequate ventilation and rear-support must be provided. Allow for
enough ventilation into the 19” cabinet in which the NS12PF Ethernet
switch is mounted. Observe the environmental specifications at all
times.
When mounting a NS12PF Ethernet switch in a touring rack, a touring
rack with shock-absorbing racking strips should always be used.
Always install the NS12PF Ethernet switch on a flat surface. A maxi-
mum allowable angle of 10 degrees is acceptable.
Do not use a NS12PF Ethernet switch in a wet/damp environment.
Do not block any ventilation slot at any time.

Connecting Ethernet
Ports 1 thru 12
Use only certified Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 cabling. The connectors on the
NS12PF Ethernet switch accept both Neutrik EtherCon® and standard
RJ45 connectors
Maximum operational cable lenghts are typically 95 metres with UTP
cables, 50 metres with SFTP, FTP or STP cables.
These ports also support Power over Ethernet, with a maximum of
100 Watt allocatable power.
Power Requirements
The NS12PF Ethernet switch must be connected to a 100-240V
50-60Hz electrical power supply, with a single phase, neutral and
ground connection. For safety reasons the NS12PF Ethernet switch
must be connected to a properly grounded power outlet.
Always use the Neutrik PowerCon® power lead supplied with the
NS12PF Ethernet switch.
The power input fuse is located next to the PowerCon® input. Do not
use a different type of fuse, always replace a blown fuse by a compat-
ible fuse.
