AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW8P 12-Port Managed PoE Plus Network Switch

AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW8P 12-Port Managed PoE Plus Network Switch

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW8P 12-Port Managed PoE+ Network Switch connects and powers MXnet AV-over-IP endpoints through eight Gigabit Ethernet ports. Four 10Gbps SFP+ uplinks support high-bandwidth switch connections, system expansion, and up to 40Gbps of aggregated uplink capacity.

This compact network switch for MXnet endpoints suits residential video distribution, meeting rooms, hospitality systems, digital signage, education facilities, and control environments. A 125W PoE budget supplies compatible encoders and decoders through network cabling, while the half-width 1RU chassis fits equipment racks with limited available space.

AVPro Edge preconfigures the switch for MXnet deployments and provides configuration through MXNet Mentor. IGMP Snooping manages multicast group traffic, while Quality of Service prioritizes time-sensitive audio and video data. Layer 2 and Layer 2+ operation, jumbo frames, link aggregation, VLAN support, and multicast filtering provide the network controls required by professional AV integrators.

Key Features

• Twelve-Port Architecture: Combines eight 1Gbps copper access ports with four 10Gbps SFP+ uplink ports.
• Integrated PoE+: Delivers a shared 125W power budget to compatible MXnet endpoints over Ethernet cabling.
• High-Capacity Uplinks: Supports up to 40Gbps link aggregation for expansion across compatible MXnet switches.
• AV-Optimized Multicast: IGMP Snooping, multicast filtering, jumbo frames, and Quality of Service improve stream handling.
• MXNet Mentor Configuration: Provides centralized setup and management within the MXnet AV-over-IP ecosystem.
• Fast Source Switching: Supports source-to-source endpoint switching in two seconds or less without empty black frames.
• Compact Rack Installation: The half-width 1RU enclosure includes brackets, hardware, and rubber feet for flexible placement.
• Scalable Network Design: Auto-uplink and link aggregation simplify planned expansion or temporary system extensions.
