Product Features
Technical Overview
The AT-OME-MS42 operates as a dedicated video switch with clear port differentiation: two HDMI inputs, one DisplayPort input, and one HDMI output handle video routing. The dual RJ-45 ports support network-based control and extended signal transmission over twisted pair cabling.
Five USB ports allow connection of peripherals like presentation clickers, document cameras, or charging devices directly through the switchbox. This consolidation reduces cable clutter and centralizes connectivity in conference tables or lectern installations.
This section brings together practical product details such as Connectivity Technology, HDMI In, HDMI Out, DisplayPort, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

FAQ
What video inputs does the AT-OME-MS42 support?
The switchbox accepts video from two HDMI sources and one DisplayPort source. This allows connection of multiple laptops, media players, or document cameras with different output interfaces, providing flexibility for presenters using various devices in meeting environments.
How many USB ports are available on this switchbox?
The AT-OME-MS42 includes five USB ports for connecting peripherals such as presentation clickers, wireless keyboard/mouse receivers, document cameras, or charging cables. These ports consolidate peripheral connectivity through the switchbox rather than requiring separate USB hubs.
What is the purpose of the RJ-45 ports on this device?
The two RJ-45 ports support network-based control of the switchbox and enable extended signal transmission over twisted pair cabling. This allows integration with room control systems and provides flexibility for installations where HDMI or DisplayPort cables cannot reach the display directly.
What type of media does this switchbox support for connectivity?
The AT-OME-MS42 supports twisted pair media, which is commonly used in structured cabling installations for extended reach. This media type works with CAT5e, CAT6, or similar network cables to transmit video signals over longer distances than standard HDMI or DisplayPort cables alone.
What are the physical dimensions of the switchbox?
The unit measures 8.64 inches wide, 10 inches deep, and 1.73 inches tall (219.46 mm × 254 mm × 43.94 mm). This compact form factor fits easily under conference tables, within lectern compartments, or on AV shelf spaces while providing full switching functionality.
Where is this video switchbox typically installed?
Common installations include conference room table boxes, lecture hall podiums, training facility instructor stations, and boardroom AV cabinets. The compact design allows discreet placement while providing source switching between multiple presenter devices sharing a single display.
