Cinch Power Units (Controllers)
The Power and Intelligence Behind the Cinch Platform
Cinch IoT Controllers provide the centralized power, communications, and intelligence behind the Cinch two-wire smart-building platform. Instead of installing separate infrastructure for lighting power, controls, sensors, and communications, Cinch combines power and data on a common low-voltage two-wire backbone.
Available in 16 and 32-port configurations, with optional emergency-power capability, Cinch Controllers can be right-sized for applications ranging from individual spaces and smaller buildings to large commercial facilities and campuses.

CPU-3200 | 32 | 3,500W | - | Larger buildings and higher-density applications |
CPU-3200-EM | 32 | 3,500W | ✓ | Larger facilities requiring integrated emergency lighting |
Mighty Micro Device™
Smart Power and Control at the Fixture
The 2-Port Mighty Micro Driver™ connects LED lighting to the Cinch two-wire platform, delivering intelligent, programmable DC power and control at the fixture.
Each driver supports two lighting outputs with up to 100 watts of total connected load and provides programmable 12–50VDC output with smooth dimming down to 0.1%. The driver connects to the Cinch Controller through the same two-wire infrastructure carrying power and communications.
This distributed architecture gives designers greater flexibility in fixture selection while allowing lighting to become an intelligent, software-addressable part of the building.

Key Benefits
-
More Fixture Flexibility - Use Cinch intelligence with a broad range of compatible LED fixtures rather than being tied to a single fixture family.
-
Simpler Fixture Infrastructure - Centralized power conversion reduces the need for traditional AC power architecture at each individual lighting point.
-
Precision Control - Programmable output and deep dimming allow lighting to be configured around the requirements of the space.
-
Easy Adds, Moves and Changes - Low-voltage connectivity makes it easier to modify lighting as spaces evolve.
-
Lighting Becomes Infrastructure - Every connected fixture becomes part of the Cinch network, creating a distributed foundation for controls, sensors, automation, and building intelligence.
CinchOne™
From Smart Building Infrastructure to Building Intelligence
CinchOne™ is the cloud-managed software platform that brings the Cinch ecosystem together.
Controllers provide the infrastructure. Mighty Micro Drivers connect and control the lighting. Sensors collect information from the physical environment. CinchOne turns those connected devices and their data into something building teams can see, manage, automate, and act on.
