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 web application 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 through AC-MXNET-10G-CBOX’s proprietary AVPro Edge Mentor, including VLAN, real-time bandwidth appropriation, and 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.

KEY BENEFITS FOR USING THE AC-MXNET-10G-48Q

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.
