The TesiraCONNECT TC-5 is a 5-port AVB-capable network device designed specifically to connect Biamp conferencing products together. The TesiraCONNECT is placed at the center of any Biamp conference room to provide power and media streaming for Biamp components. TesiraCONNECT works out of the box with Biamp products, simplifying conference room deployments. TesiraCONNECT also connects multiple AVB-enabled Biamp products within a system. Supported topologies include the connection of up to four TesiraCONNECT devices in a single media network cluster. While TesiraCONNECT provides most of the same features and functions as an AVB network switch, Biamp prefers to avoid calling it a network switch. We do this to reinforce that TesiraCONNECT is only intended to be used with Biamp products, and has only been tested with Biamp products. Additionally, TesiraCONNECT is a simple plug-and-play device with no setup required, in contrast with most other AVB switches that have countless configuration options and require extensive setup to work correctly. All 5 ports are AVB enabled with support for up to 150 AVB streams. 4 ports provide PoE+ Class 4 with 120W budget. RSTP (rapid spanning tree) Support. Supported topology is up to 4 TesiraCONNECT devices in a single media network cluster. Standard Ethernet distance limits using Cat 5e UTP or better. Universal external power supply. Only Biamp conferencing equipment is supported.
