Extron IPCP Pro S1 xi (part number 60-1979-01) — Extron's smallest and simplest IP Link control processor, built for single-serial-port applications and Power over Ethernet installations.

The S1 xi strips the IPCP Pro platform down to its essentials: one bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial port and a single Gigabit NIC, with no relay, digital I/O, or eBUS section. It can run from its included external 12 VDC supply or draw power directly over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, Class 3), and its metal enclosure is UL listed for plenum air-handling spaces.

Key Capabilities

• Powers over Ethernet (PoE 802.3af, Class 3) or the included external 12 VDC supply
• 1 bidirectional RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 serial port
• UL listed for plenum air-handling spaces (meets UL 2043)
• Compact quarter-rack enclosure, 0.7 lbs
• Low power draw: 2.2 W device, 2.8 W with external supply

Where It Is Used

Small installations that only need to drive a single serial-controlled device — and where running a PoE cable is easier than a local power outlet — use the S1 xi's PoE support and plenum-rated enclosure to mount it above ceiling tiles or inside tight equipment spaces.

Specifications at a Glance

• Network: 1 Gigabit NIC, PoE 802.3af Class 3 supported
• Serial: 1 RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 (5-pole)
• Memory: 1 GB SDRAM / 8 GB flash
• Enclosure: Metal, quarter rack wide, plenum UL listed
