Now, engineers and technicians in a variety of other fields are recognizing the unique capabilities and many benefits of ProPlex Ethernet cables. These rugged, reliable portable cables handle easily and can be deployed and re-coiled daily for many years.

“This was a ProPlex networking rig through and through. In every case throughout the weekend we were able to quickly accommodate every request for network or data connections and changes at FOH and on stage.”

One of 130 entries, the IQ Tester was awarded first place in the Lighting Technology Accessories category. This latest award is the third official accolade by industry professionals worldwide, following on from prestigious LDI Debuting Product and PLASA Innovation Awards.

TMB proudly introduces the FIRST Ethernet patch cable with full, verified performance up to 100 meters! This unique, one-of-a-kind, stranded, flexible CAT6a patch cable is ideal for all portable networks up to 10-Gigabit

Featuring nearly 500 various lights communicating over two V-LAN groups, with a total of 75 Ethernet devices, the network relied heavily on its nerve center, four ProPlex EZ-LANs.

“We used ten ProPlex Opto-Splitter 2×8 RDM units, plus a user-friendly, versatile ProPlex IQ Two 1616 node for output streaming. We love this unit’s ability to be easily changed on the fly.”

“The flexibility offered by the IQ Two and Opto-Splitters makes data routing via both hard-switchable and soft-patched universe outputs extremely easy when dealing with touring bands and artists. The ProPlex devices and software are intuitive and very easy to use, as well as powerful, reliable, and bullet-proof. ProPlex always works!”

“The switches are very robust and we trust them to handle the load of a massive rig. We always love to see ProPlex GBS. They give us confidence that our network connections from control out to the rig will be solid.”

TMB’s ProPlex Cat5e portable cable reached a significant milestone last month when total sales of the flagship product in the ProPlex data cable range, since its introduction at the turn of the century, reached 15 million feet. Enough cable to stretch from Los Angeles to New York and beyond!

“Because the consoles we use for Strictly have a limited number of outputs, we have to swap routing during the show. The ProPlex IQ 1616 is perfect for this job because we can easily change the routing very quickly using the large touchscreen display.”

Highlighting 69 vehicles spread across 60,000 square feet, were massive LED rings pixelated for an overhead rotating “gear” effect. 80 ProPlex IQ Two 1616 bidirectional DMX-Ethernet converters distributed 1,198 DMX universes to 387,000 LED pixels!

In a ceremony at the Las Vegas Convention Center last week during the LDI 2015 tradeshow, Live Design recognized the new ProPlex EZ-LAN Unity 20 with an LDI 2015 Best Debuting Product of the Year Award.

Control data was transmitted via a total of 2,000 ft. of ProPlex Fibre Cable to two ProPlex GBS 10-port, dual-fibre, managed GigaBit Switches.

TMB’s ProPlex GBS tour-grade Gigabit Ethernet Switches and Fibre Distribution systems represent the state of the art in reliable networking for high-volume, multicast control and data distribution in the portable entertainment and staging environment.
