NEW. FutureNow FNIP-4x16A PoE - a new standard of relay control in AV and BMS installations

2026-05-11

FutureNow FNIP-4x16A PoE is a modern 4‑channel relay module designed for professional AV installations, building automation systems, and control system integration. The device is now available and addresses the growing demands of system integrators for reliability, flexibility, and ease of deployment.

The FNIP-4x16A PoE combines a compact design, high switching capacity, and PoE power supply, making it an ideal solution for modern IP-based infrastructures. It is a versatile load control tool that performs equally well in commercial environments and advanced AV projects.

Reliability proven by experience

One of the key advantages of the FutureNow solution is its operational stability, resulting from over 15 years of continuous technological development. The FNIP-4x16A PoE is engineered for continuous operation in demanding environments where system reliability is critical - from conference rooms and public facilities to industrial installations.

Versatility in AV and automation systems

The FNIP-4x16A PoE is a universal relay module that enables control of virtually any type of load. Four 230V/16A relay outputs (NO dry contacts) allow switching of AV equipment, electrical infrastructure, and lighting systems.

Additionally, the module is equipped with four digital inputs offering broad application possibilities. These inputs can interface with contact sensors, push buttons, or other manual control elements, increasing system flexibility and enabling customized configurations.

IP integration and PoE power - simplified installation

The use of PoE (IEEE 802.3af) significantly simplifies installation - the module requires only a single Ethernet cable for both communication and power. This is especially beneficial in projects where fast deployment and reduced cabling are essential.

The FNIP-4x16A PoE supports TCP/IP control and features a built-in web server, allowing convenient configuration, monitoring, and management without the need for additional software.

Ready for integration with control systems

The module is fully compatible with leading control systems, making it an ideal choice for AV integrators. A simple communication protocol based on ASCII commands (API) ensures fast and seamless integration with building management systems (BMS), AV systems, and automation platforms.

With the ability to create and trigger scenes from both network commands and local inputs, the FNIP-4x16A PoE enables advanced control scenarios - from simple switching to complex automation sequences.
