When deciding for a Switch, please make sure that its Cache is as big as possible.
Using a “crossed” 10 Base-T cable will allow a direct console-to-console connection but no additional
components can be added to this connection type later on.

The console(s) can only work on one transceiver type at a time - when the 10 Base-2 port is in use anything
connected to the 10 Base-T outlet is ignored and vice versa. If you want to connect more consoles at one time
or the use of a ArtNet DMX-Node is required a 10/100 Base-T EtherNet-switch must be installed.
Also for security reasons on longer cable runs or branched wiring a 10/100 Base-T switch is strongly
recommended (like a DMX-booster on larger DMX-networks).
The following example shows a network configuration with two identical consoles and an ArtNet DMX-Node for
DMX changeover and distribution. All components are star-wired from a central EtherNet hub using standard 10
/100 Base-T cabling.
