AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW48E - 48-Port PoE+ MXnet AVoIP Switch

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW48E is a 48-port PoE+ MXnet AVoIP switch built for high-density commercial AV over IP deployments such as auditoriums, all-hands rooms, and multi-room campus systems. It pairs a 740-watt PoE+ budget across 48 copper ports with 6 SFP+ stacking ports running at 1 or 10 Gbps, giving integrators single-cable power and data to a large number of MXnet or USP endpoints. As a preconfigured MXnet network switch, the SW48E ships ready for MXnet USP, MXnet 1G V1/V2, and Dante audio traffic without manual VLAN or QoS configuration. Its 1RU chassis and standard AV rack spacing make it a practical core switch for scaling an AVoIP system beyond what a 24-port switch can support.

Product Description

The AC-MXNET-SW48E delivers 216 Gbps of switching capacity and a 161 Mpps forwarding rate, more than double the capacity of the SW24E, which suits larger AVoIP systems distributing video to many rooms or displays from a central equipment room. Its 6x 1/10 Gbps SFP+ ports provide 60 Gbps of stacking bandwidth, well beyond the 2.88 Gbps maximum bandwidth requirement of a single USP endpoint, so multiple switches can be stacked without introducing congestion into MXnet or USP video streams. The Layer 2.5 (L2+) architecture combines Layer 2 switching efficiency with Layer 3 routing flexibility, balancing performance and cost for a scalable AV-over-IP switch design. AVPro Edge preconfigures the SW48E for MXnet USP, MXnet 1G V1/V2, and Dante audio out of the box, with VLAN, QoS, and IGMP settings already optimized, reducing on-site commissioning time for large installations. The switch also implements Dante-oriented QoS traffic prioritization, which helps when Dante audio and MXnet AVoIP video share the same network backbone in a large facility. All 48 copper ports support PoE+ with a combined 740-watt power budget, which is enough to power a full room's worth of MXnet encoders, decoders, or USP transceivers directly from the switch. 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 stacked, multi-switch topology.

Key Features

• 48 PoE+ Copper Ports — Powers a large number of MXnet and USP endpoints directly with a 740-watt total PoE+ budget.
• 6x 1/10 Gbps SFP+ Stacking Ports — Provides 60 Gbps of stacking bandwidth for consolidating endpoint counts and uplinking to core switches.
• Preconfigured for MXnet and Dante — VLAN, QoS, and IGMP settings are optimized out of the box for MXnet USP, MXnet 1G V1/V2, and Dante audio.
• Dante-Prioritized QoS — Implements Dante-oriented traffic prioritization to improve audio reliability alongside MXnet AVoIP video.
• Non-Blocking for USP Deployments — 60 Gbps stacking bandwidth exceeds the 2.88 Gbps maximum USP endpoint requirement for congestion-free routing.
• 216 Gbps Switching Capacity — Delivers a 161 Mpps forwarding rate suited to large, high-density AVoIP campus deployments.
• 1RU Compact Rack Height — Uses standard AV rack mount spacing for straightforward equipment room installation.
