Extron IPL EXP RIO8 (part number 60-1907-01) — a PoE+ powered control system expansion interface with eight relays and eight configurable digital I/O for large-scale device switching near the point of use.

The RIO8 packs twice the relay and digital I/O count of the standard EXP 200 into the same quarter-rack footprint, and each digital I/O connector also carries 12 VDC and 24 VDC auxiliary power taps (19 W aggregate) for powering small sensors or actuators directly. It runs entirely on Power over Ethernet Plus (802.3af, Class 4), and its metal enclosure is UL listed for plenum air-handling spaces.

Key Capabilities

• 8 normally open relays (24 VDC, 1 A) for large-scale switching
• 8 configurable digital I/O with 12 VDC / 24 VDC auxiliary power taps (19 W aggregate)
• Powers entirely over PoE+ (802.3af, Class 4) — no local power supply needed
• UL listed for plenum air-handling spaces (meets UL 2043)
• Compact quarter-rack metal enclosure, just 0.45 lbs

Where It Is Used

Installations that need extensive relay or digital I/O switching near a rack or equipment closet — without running a dedicated power circuit — use the RIO8's PoE+ power and expanded I/O count to extend control capability over the existing network.
