Overview
The LSC NEXEN W2 is a two port Ethernet to DMX/RDM gateway in a single gang wall plate. It converts Art-Net, sACN and ArtRDM, has full isolation on each port, and a colour LCD touchscreen on the plate shows setup and status. The network connects on an RJ45 at the rear and the unit runs from PoE, so a single data cable is all it needs.
Choose the Input version with male XLR5 connectors for console positions, or the Output version with female XLR5 connectors for feeding fixtures; each port can still be set as an input or output in software. The backbox is not supplied, and the optional NXNW/BB backbox with bracket covers surface and hanging mounts. It suits theatres, schools, churches, function rooms and installs where DMX points are needed around the room.

Put an Input W2 at the lighting desk position and Output W2s at the bar and wall positions, and you can move the console anywhere there is a network point. For walls without a flush box or for hanging off a bar, add the NXNW/BB backbox.
