Hi everyone, forgive me if this has been beaten to death on here.. New to the forum!
A client I work with regularly is upgrading his LS9 rig to a CL5 and a couple RIO’s. Hallelujah! I’m trying to put together a network for this with a fairly quick turn around. (And a fairly tight budget)
What I’m thinking.. Rackmount (2) Cisco SG350-10’s in (2) racks. (Possibly the 28 ports, but I don’t think I need it) I’m thinking the non POE so no fan noise. So 4 total. Primary and secondary. Below that, a brush plate that I can feed Ethernets through to a custom panel with ethercons and fiber ports. There would be a wireless router as well for iPad control.
My biggest question is who is making these custom panels and typical cost? Secondly, I’m pretty handy.. can I just purchase the blank panels and connectors and build this myself?My biggest question are the connectors/parts/cables to get from the SFP slots to a fiber connector on the panel.
70% of his events are fairly small-medium corporate systems. The other 30 is large (10k+ person) corporate which typically ends up being a VER L’Acoustic system with TAC fiber. So being able to have the option to go ethercon or fiber would be great along with tying into an LA network. Every system I’ve gotten over the years from VER always comes with the SG-300’s and fibercon runs.. which I then have to pull the ends off of! Trying to avoid that..
Any recommendations on parts/cabling or a bit of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I’m sure this has been talked about before so pardon the redundancy. I’m not the brightest cookie on networking, but I understand the basics and how they play with Dante. Also, this system will surely get abused by stagehands.. so I want to make it robust.
Thanks in advance!
