Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference in power requirements?
The MCP-106P-WH supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing it to draw power from the network connection alone. The MCP-106P-BL specifications do not mention PoE capability, suggesting it may require separate power.
Which pad works better in dim or unlit rooms?
The MCP-106P-WH features backlit buttons with selectable flash or on/off modes, making buttons visible in any lighting. The MCP-106P-BL has no backlight feature mentioned.
Can either pad control older audio or video equipment?
The MCP-106P-WH includes integrated serial and IR ports for controlling legacy devices. The MCP-106P-BL relies on Ethernet networking only, limiting compatibility with non-networked equipment.
Are both pads the same physical size?
Both are compact portrait-orientation pads designed for standard 1-gang back boxes. The MCP-106P-BL dimensions are specified as 4 11/16″ × 3 7/16″ × 9/16″; the MCP-106P-WH dimensions are not explicitly stated but described as similarly compact.
