Quick Overview

The Global Cache GC-100 range of Network Adapters connect a TCP/IP network to infrared (IR), serial (RS232), and contact closure (relay) devices. This allows the devices to be automated, controlled, and monitored over the network by third party software like iRule, DemoPad,CommandFusion and so on.

Using many commonly needed controls and sensor inputs in one box, the GC-100 provides an easy way for controlling real-world devices, reducing the time and complexity of an installation by eliminating piggybacked components and multiple power supplies.

Product Description

Most devices such as TVs, stereos, and lighting can’t communicate over networks. Top-to-bottom proprietary systems can control these devices, but are extremely expensive and require specialised dealer training for installation. Recently, more affordable control and automation software, based on open systems and standards has become available. However, to use the new open systems software, multiple devices, and sometimes piggybacked equipment, is necessary to connect various types of household devices to a network. This method can be quite expensive, somewhat complex, and often unreliable. Global Caché’s cost effective and easy-to-use GC-100 is designed to solve those problems.

Utilising Global Caché’s GC-100 Network Adapter, the most commonly used devices can be easily managed and accessed via network-based software. Our unique modular mix-and-match design allows integrators, installers, and OEMs to control diverse systems such as entertainment, security, lighting, and irrigation in a cost effective manner.
The GC-100 Network Adapter is available in four versions, making it simple for installers and dealers to choose the right unit for each installation.

The Global Cache GC-100-12 Home Network Adapter connects diverse and previously unconnected devices and appliances in a network-based home.

• 2 Serial/RS232 Ports
• 6 IR Ports (6 IR Emitters included)
• 3 Contact Closure/Relay Ports
• 12” in size
