Cables To Go C2G50348 AV Controller Switch Plate 8 Buttons

SKU CH-NAFN-1C333 MPN C2G50348

An in-wall AV controller with eight backlit buttons managing serial, infrared and 12V DC devices for classrooms and conference rooms

  • Centralised AV control from one wall plate
  • Eight backlit buttons simplify classroom operation
  • Dual DB9 ports handle RS-232 and RS-485 devices
  • Daisy-chain up to 99 controllers for large installs
  • On-board timing enables scheduled automation

In-Wall AV Controller for Classrooms

The C2G50348 installs in a standard wall box to centralise command of classroom or conference-room AV gear. Eight backlit buttons replace multiple handheld remotes and eliminate the need for separate battery changes. The unit targets installers who want a single control point for projectors, screens and source devices without the expense of larger automation systems.

Sustained Operation With Daisy-Chained Units

Up to 99 controllers can be linked together so that large facilities maintain consistent behaviour across every room. On-board timing programmes execute scheduled commands reliably over long periods without drifting. Dual DB9 ports carrying RS-232 and RS-485 signals keep communication stable with up to five serial devices such as projectors or motorised blinds during continuous daily use.

Control Limits of the Serial and IR Interface

The two RS-232 ports and one RS-485 port together address a maximum of five serial devices, defining the hard ceiling for direct equipment control. Twelve-volt DC trigger outputs handle a single screen or blind motor per controller. Infrared commands are sent from the same buttons but cannot exceed the line-of-sight range inherent to IR transmission.

Questions about this item

Does the C2G50348 draw noticeable power or generate heat when left on continuously in a classroom?

The unit is a low-voltage in-wall controller powered from the building's 12 V DC supply; it has no fan or high-current circuitry, so heat and power draw are negligible during all-day use.

What wiring and devices must already be in place for the C2G50348 to control a projector and screen?

You need a 12 V DC feed for the controller, RS-232 cables to the projector or display, a 12 V trigger line to the screen or blinds, and IR emitters for any DVD or document-camera equipment.

Can the C2G50348 share RS-232 or RS-485 wiring with older controllers already installed in the room?

Yes — dual DB9 RS-232 and RS-485 ports allow daisy-chaining up to 99 controllers on the same bus, so legacy units can remain connected alongside the new plate.
