RF Antenna
ShowLink wireless control access point for compatible Shure Axient systems. Powered by DC or PoE.
01 · What it does—and what that changes in your rig.
Start with the payoff, then work through how it functions, where it fits, and the details that change a real build.
ShowLink wireless control access point for compatible Shure Axient systems. Powered by DC or PoEPower over Ethernet — the network cable powers the device (stage boxes, personal mixers, access points). One less wall-wart to lose..
02 · Know the whole path before you buy.
Learn the route as a block diagram: source, product function, transport, and destination. Select any block to see what enters, what changes, and what leaves.
Each block answers the same three questions: what arrives, what changes here, and what leaves.

03 · What this product asks of the rest of the system.
Treat connector names as the start of the check—not the answer. These are the boundaries that determine a complete working path.
Use it as rf antenna tracked outside rack rails; follow the manufacturer’s mounting and form-factor guidance.
Complete the path with upstream and downstream gear that matches connector, direction, signal type, protocol, and wiring standard.
Documented connectors: dc barrel, sma, etherCON. Match connector, direction, and signal type—not shape alone.
04 · Every connector, grouped by job.
Switch the product view and the documented port inventory updates with it—hardware and data stay side by side.
