  • IP65-Rated Power Inlet Protects The Power Entry Point In Stage And Install Environments
  • Dante-Compliant QoS Preset Eliminates Manual Configuration For Audio-Over-IP Deployments

The Elation NETRON NFS116 is built for lighting network engineers and production technicians who need a single switch capable of handling the data density of modern entertainment systems. Its 12 Gigabit RJ45 ports and 4 fiber uplinks provide the infrastructure to connect large fixture counts, media servers, and PoE-powered nodes without creating bottlenecks. A total switching capacity of 48 Gbps ensures that high-volume protocols like Dante, sACN, and Art-Net move without latency, making it equally viable for touring rigs, permanent installs, and broadcast studios.

Where generic managed switches require workarounds to support entertainment protocols, the NFS116 ships with prebuilt support for ONYX X-Net, MANet2, MA-Net3, HogNet, and ETC Net3 alongside a Dante-compliant QoS preset. VLAN management across six groups with per-group DHCP servers allows technicians to isolate lighting, audio, and control traffic on a single physical infrastructure. Per-port LED feedback for activity, PoE status, and VLAN assignment gives operators visual confirmation at a glance, while the full-color OLED display and front-panel encoder allow configuration without a laptop on the floor.

Locking connectors on both RJ45 and power connections reduce the risk of accidental disconnection during load-in or show operation. The IP65-rated power inlet provides environmental protection at the power entry point. The NFS116 is a purpose-designed solution that replaces consumer-grade hardware with a switch that understands how production networks actually operate.
