PRODUCT FEATURES
UNIVERSAL COMPATIBILITY

COMPACT FORM FACTOR
The compact form factor of CE Series Universal Control Extenders is not much larger than a deck of playing cards. This small size, combined with the simplicity of being PoE powered, makes for easy mounting and concealment.
LOW-COST, PROFESSIONAL-GRADE EXPANSION OPTION
CE Series Universal Control Extenders are perfect for applications that require a low-cost control extension solution with the professional-grade quality and security of an AMX product.
WEB CONFIGURATION INTERFACE
CE Series Universal Control Extenders include a web interface to simplify configuration and provide device control capabilities for testing during commissioning.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
CE Series Universal Control Extenders are ideal additions to any control system that supports IP connectivity. An open control API makes it simple to integrate these boxes with any IP-capable control systems or apps, and the integrated web interface enables configuration without specialised applications. CE Series can provide hardware control and integration to devices that that are not on the network, such as motorised screens and blinds, motion and occupancy sensors, lighting dimmers and consumer AV components. These professional-grade devices can extend the reach of control systems in corporate spaces, colleges and universities, and government facilities with security requirements that may disqualify similar solutions from other manufacturers.
