The STNet-Switch is a 16-port, 40 watt PoE switch designed for use with SoundTube's Dante-enabled speakers. (The speakers may also be used with a standard PoE or PoE Plus switch.) The STNet-Switch provides 40 watts Power over Ethernet to each SoundTube speaker on the network and manages report-back information from the speakers. A Dante system controller DSP is connected to the STNet-Switch via one of the two provided gigabit Ethernet ports; up to 16 speakers may be connected directly via one switch. Multiple switches may be linked via the second gigabit Ethernet port
