AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW24E - 24-Port PoE+ MXnet AVoIP Switch

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW24E is a 24-port PoE+ MXnet AVoIP switch built for cost-effective AV over IP network deployment in conference rooms, training rooms, and small-to-midsize commercial spaces. It combines Layer 2.5 switching architecture with a 370-watt PoE+ budget so most MXnet 1G V2 and MXnet USP endpoints can be powered directly from the switch without external power supplies. Four 1G SFP stacking ports handle uplinks or multi-switch expansion for larger installations. As a preconfigured MXnet network switch, the SW24E is designed for integrators who want plug-and-play AVoIP and Dante audio support without manual VLAN or QoS configuration.

Product Description

The AC-MXNET-SW24E provides 24 PoE+ (802.3af/802.3at) copper ports rated at 10/100/1000Base-T, giving each connected MXnet encoder, decoder, or USP transceiver single-cable power and data. Its 56 Gbps switching capacity and 4 Gbps stacking bandwidth per SFP link exceed the 1.44 Gbps maximum bandwidth requirement of a single USP endpoint, which keeps AVoIP streams flowing without congestion even under peak load. The Layer 2.5 (L2+) architecture blends Layer 2 switching efficiency with Layer 3 routing flexibility, reducing cost and complexity compared with a full Layer 3 switch while still supporting the VLAN and multicast requirements of an AV over IP network. AVPro Edge preconfigures the SW24E for MXnet USP, MXnet 1G V1/V2, and Dante audio traffic out of the box, with VLAN, QoS, and IGMP settings already optimized, so integrators do not need CLI-level switch programming to bring a standalone MXnet system online. AVPro Edge also implements Dante-oriented QoS traffic prioritization on this switch, which improves audio streaming reliability when Dante and MXnet AVoIP traffic share the same network. The 4x 1G SFP ports support stacking to additional MXnet switches or uplinking to core network infrastructure, and can be used with Link Aggregation for added bandwidth between switches. The compact 1RU chassis uses standard AV rack mount spacing, and AVPro Edge specifies an installation maximum of four switch hops for reliable AVoIP performance across a multi-switch topology.

Key Features
