The AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q is an AVPro Edge designed, fixed-port and stackable managed switch for high-density 10G communication plus seamless integration with the MXnet 10G ecosystem, representing the next step forward on the evolutionary path of the MXnet platform.
Encompassing an industry-first, holistically integrated approach to AV over IP video distribution from a solo manufacturer, AVPro Edge’s exclusive MXnet 10G platform offers the only proprietary, hyper-optimized SDVoE ecosystem of network-based managed switches, encoders and decoders guided from a centralized control unit via MXnet Mentor, our in-house engineered setup and system utilities management software solution.
AVPro Edge is the first manufacturer of encoders and decoders to also manufacture Plug-and-Play, preconfigured network switches for all AV-over-IP applications. Switch management, including VLAN, real-time bandwidth appropriation plus POE power is configurable through Mentor, along with comprehensive system diagnostics to quickly identify and illustrate port connections. Mentor also provides detailed multicast information.
Onboard the AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q are forty-eight, 1/10G SFP+ ports and six, 40G QSFP+ uplink ports. Virtual Switch Framework (VF) virtualizes multiple AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q switches from the same layer into one logical device, providing high availability and scalability. The AVPro Edge-developed Intelligent AV multicast processing engine enables a single AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q switch to easily support seventy-two, 10G SDVOE endpoints (using two X 40G QSFP+ breakout cables, not included) or eight hundred, 1G AV-over-IP endpoints.
Advanced, physical architecture features modular, 1+1 hot-swappable, built in power supplies plus 4+1, hot-swappable redundancy fans for cross-ventilation and steerable air flow.
The AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q has a maximum bandwidth of 240Gbps enabling connections for up to twenty-four AC-MXNET-10G-TCVRs functioning in Encoder mode. As many as seventy-two AC-MXNET-10G-TCVR’s functioning in endpoint/decoder mode may be connected.
- Designed by AVPro Edge –
- Design of the AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q is focused on plug & play ease within the MXnet 10G ecosystem.
- MXnet Mentor enables seamless setup, management, and system topology diagnostics. Virtual Switching Framework (VSF) provides scalability and high availability.
- Port Configuration -
- Provides forty-eight each, 1/10G SFP+ Ports, plus six each, 40G QSFP+ Ports.
- Port Expansion Capability -
- Four additional MXnet SDVOE transceivers may be connected through each 40G QSFP+ breakout cable (cables not included), for a total of seventy-two decoder/endpoints
- AVPro Edge Engineered Operating System -
- AC-MXNET-10G-SW48Q incorporates a proprietary AVPro Edge operating system, honing speed and performance for MXnet 10G functions.
- All internal switch modules are optimized for more demanding audio/video signals and the speed required to maintain image fidelity plus control signal accuracy.
- AVPro Edge re-engineered the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) for the fastest maximum data multicast throughput with the onboard Intelligent AV Multicast Processor (iAMP). Security is also enhanced.
- Fast Switching with Near-Zero Latency -
- Source-to-source switching to endpoints is virtually instantaneous if scaling is not required (100µs frame latency, or 1/150th of a frame).
- With scaling in use, switching speed is between one to two frames, or about 17-34 milliseconds, considered visually imperceptible.
- High Reliability -
- Carrier-Grade Hardware provides 99.999% uptime availability, crucial for applications such as public safety monitoring or medical-related installations.
- Fail Safe Construction -
- Dual internal power supplies provide redundant fallback in the unlikely event one should fail, plus 4+1 redundant fan modules ensure cool, long-term operation.
- AV over IP Ready -
- Pre-configured for out-of-the-box, plug and play installation.
- Class-Leading Performance -
- MXnet switches are the highest performing switches in the AVoIP market segment.
- Works as a Single or Double Core Switch –
- Suitable for small/medium Data Center or Small Campus application scenarios.
