TesiraCONNECT TC-5 serves as the central connection point for all Biamp devices in a conference room. It simplifies conferencing installations by providing power and media over a single category cable between devices such as Tesira AVB DSPs, USB extenders, PoE+ amplifiers, and microphones. Four of the five Gigabit RJ-45 ports provide PoE+ power (IEEE 802.3at Class 4, 30W) to connected endpoints, while the remaining RJ-45 port is used for DSP connection or daisy-chaining TesiraCONNECT TC-5 devices together. TesiraCONNECT TC-5 eliminates the need for third-party switches; it works out-of-the-box with Tesira products and does not require any device configuration. The small form factor allows it to be easily mounted to a wall or under a table, or placed above the ceiling or inside a credenza in the conference room.
