English Electric 16Switch - Network switch for streaming with a focus on stability and noise reduction

English Electric 16Switch is a 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch developed for networks where music and video streaming place demands on stable data transmission. It is built with two separate zones and independent power supplies, so you can separate sensitive AV equipment from other devices on the network. This provides a solution that operates more stably and is easier to integrate into both simple and advanced setups.

Highlights

• 16-port Gigabit Ethernet switch
• Divided into 2 x 8 ports with the option of separate operation
• Two independent power supplies
• High-precision TCXO clock technology
• Designed for low electrical noise
• Ability to separate AV equipment from the rest of the network
• Stable data transmission with reduced jitter
• Suitable for streaming music and video

Stable streaming in practice

16Switch is developed to deliver a more stable network connection, which is important in systems where streaming is a central source. The precise clock technology contributes to more consistent data transmission, so the signal is handled more smoothly through the chain. This can help provide a more coherent experience when you stream music or video.

Division into two network zones

The switch's design makes it possible to use it as two separate 8-port switches or as one combined unit. This gives you the flexibility to separate sensitive equipment such as streamers and AV components from other devices on the network. In this way, you can reduce interference from noisy digital devices.

Focus on noise reduction and precision

16Switch uses precise TCXO clock modules, which are designed to deliver stable timing in the data signal. At the same time, each zone is electrically isolated and powered by its own power supply, which reduces unwanted noise in the circuit. This contributes to more stable and consistent network performance.

Flexible integration into your setup

You can easily integrate 16Switch into both existing and new network setups. It works as a central link between your devices and makes it possible to optimize the network without changing the rest of the installation. This makes it suitable for both hi-fi and home theater, where streaming plays an important role.
