AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW48XF - 48-Port 10G Fiber AVoIP Switch

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-SW48XF is a 48-port 10G fiber AVoIP network switch engineered for large-scale, high-density MXnet and SDVoE video-over-IP deployments. It delivers enterprise-class switching capacity and non-blocking multicast performance at a price point AVPro Edge positions below typical aggregation-level switches from network-only vendors. With 48 x SFP+ ports and 6 x QSFP28 uplink ports, this commercial AV network switch is built for campus-wide AVoIP distribution, broadcast facilities, and large auditoriums that need to move dozens of 4K or 8K video streams without dropped frames. Redundant power and fan modules give it the reliability profile expected in mission-critical AV over IP switch installations.

Product Description

The AC-MXNET-SW48XF provides 2.16 Tbps of total switch capacity with a 600 Mpps forwarding rate, giving it enough headroom to handle full multicast load from a large SDVoE or MXnet 10G video distribution system without packet loss. Its 48 SFP+ ports run at 10 GbE by default with 1 GbE fallback, while the 6 QSFP28 ports default to 100 GbE and support breakout to 4 x 25 Gbps or 4 x 10 Gbps for flexible stacking, backbone uplinks, or multi-switch expansion. The switch's 600 Gbps stacking bandwidth exceeds SDVoE's 480 Gbps maximum performance load by 1.25 times, which matters when a facility runs SDVoE and MXnet 10G traffic on the same fiber backbone. AVPro Edge's proprietary Intelligent AV Multicast Processor re-engineers IGMP handling specifically for AV multicast traffic, and the switch ships preconfigured with VLAN, QoS, IGMP, and LAG settings optimized for SDVoE and Dante audio out of the box, reducing commissioning time on large rooms and campus deployments. Dual hot-swappable power supplies and 3+1 redundant hot-swappable fans provide fail-safe operation rated for 99.999% uptime, which is a requirement in government facilities, transportation hubs, and public safety monitoring installations. The 1RU, front-to-back airflow chassis fits standard AV and IT equipment racks, and a dedicated management port and console port allow network administrators to configure the switch independently of the AV control system.

Key Features

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the AC-MXNET-SW48XF compatible with existing MXnet 1G or 10G encoders and decoders? Yes, it is preconfigured for MXnet AVoIP traffic and also supports SDVoE and Dante on the same network.
• Does the switch require manual VLAN or QoS configuration for AV traffic? No, VLAN, QoS, IGMP, and LAG settings are optimized out of the box for SDVoE and Dante deployments.
• How is the switch mounted in an equipment rack? It occupies 1 RU with front-to-back airflow, matching standard AV and IT rack conventions.
• What happens if a power supply or fan fails? The switch has dual hot-swappable power supplies and 3+1 redundant hot-swappable fans, allowing continued operation during a single-component failure.
• Can the QSFP28 ports be used for lower-speed connections? Yes, each QSFP28 port supports breakout to 4x25 Gbps or 4x10 Gbps for flexible expansion.
• Is this switch suitable for a mixed SDVoE and MXnet 10G deployment? Yes, its 600 Gbps stacking bandwidth exceeds SDVoE's 480 Gbps maximum load requirement.
• What is the warranty on this product? AVPro Edge covers the AC-MXNET-SW48XF with a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
• What support resources are available for network configuration? AVPro Edge provides a switch user manual and configuration guides through its support portal for network administrators and integrators.
