The present invention relates to an
Ethernet device connector module (1, 1', 1") for a controllable device (14, 15, 16) for lighting, sound, image, or effects technology, for integrating the device (14, 15, 16) into a chain of a plurality of serially
Ethernet-connected devices (14, 15, 16). The
Ethernet-based design of the Ethernet device connector module (1, 1', 1") allows the serial control of a plurality of complexly switchable devices (14, 15, 16).The Ethernet device connector module (1, 1', 1") provides data and, for example, power supply to a chain of serially connected devices (14, 15, 16) by connecting two outer slots (3A, 3B) via an intermediate distribution component (10) to an Ethernet contact interface (9) of a circuit board (30) of the Ethernet device connector module (1, 1', 1") for the device-
internal connection of the Ethernet device connector module (1, 1', 1") to the
control electronics of the device (14, 15, 16). The distribution component (10), for example a PoE or PoDL switch, is configured to distribute a data and, if applicable, power supply
signal supplied via one of the two outer slots (3A, 3B) to the other of the two outer slots (3A, 3B). Ethernet contact interface of the
printed circuit board (30).
