AVPro Edge 12X 10G Copper (PoE++) Stackable Managed Switch with Six 10G/25G SFP28

Product Overview

The AVPro Edge AC-MXNET-10G-SW12C is a 12-port 10G copper PoE++ stackable managed switch engineered specifically for SDVoE and MXNet AV-over-IP deployments. It delivers 10GBase-T connectivity with IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ on all twelve copper ports, eliminating separate power injectors for high-draw AV endpoints. Six SFP28 uplink slots support 10G or 25G fiber interconnects for inter-rack and inter-building backbone links. Designed for integrators building high-density AV-over-IP networks, this switch provides the throughput, PoE budget, and stacking capability required for large-scale commercial installations.

Product Description

The AC-MXNET-10G-SW12C is built to anchor the network infrastructure of demanding SDVoE and MXNet Evolution II AV-over-IP systems. Each of its twelve RJ45 ports runs at 10 Gigabit Ethernet and delivers up to 90W of PoE++ power per port under IEEE 802.3bt, covering the full power requirements of 10G AV encoders, decoders, and other high-draw devices from a single cable.

The six SFP28 ports accept both 10G and 25G transceivers, giving network designers flexibility to use existing 10G fiber infrastructure or step up to 25G for inter-switch backbone links. The switch is fully stackable, allowing multiple units to be managed as a single logical device through a unified CLI and web GUI — critical for large venues where dozens of AV endpoints span multiple racks.

Full management features include VLAN segmentation to isolate AV multicast traffic, QoS prioritization for time-sensitive video streams, SNMP for integration with network management systems, IGMP snooping for efficient multicast distribution, and RSTP/MSTP for loop prevention. The 1U rack-mount chassis provides 360 Gbps switching capacity and 267 Mpps forwarding rate, ensuring zero-congestion operation even when all ports are saturated simultaneously.

Key Features

• 12 x 10GBase-T PoE++ Ports — Each copper port delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet plus up to 90W IEEE 802.3bt PoE++, powering 10G AV endpoints directly without external injectors.
• 6 x SFP28 Uplink Ports — Supports 10G or 25G fiber transceivers for high-speed inter-switch backbone links across racks and buildings.
• Stackable Architecture — Multiple switches combine into a single managed stack, enabling centralized control and simplified administration for large AV networks.
• 480W Total PoE Budget — Substantial power allocation supports a full complement of PoE++ AV devices across all twelve ports simultaneously.
• 360 Gbps Switching Capacity — Non-blocking fabric ensures full line-rate throughput across all ports, eliminating congestion in high-density AV-over-IP deployments.
• IGMP Snooping — Intelligently forwards multicast video streams only to subscribed ports, preventing unnecessary traffic flooding across the AV network.
• VLAN and QoS Support — Isolates AV traffic from general network traffic and prioritizes latency-sensitive video and audio streams.
• Web GUI, CLI, and SNMP Management — Provides multiple management interfaces for AV integrators and IT administrators.
• RSTP/MSTP Loop Prevention — Maintains network stability in redundant topology designs common in mission-critical AV installations.
• 1U Rack-Mount Chassis — Fits standard 19-inch racks with a low-profile 1.75-inch height, preserving valuable rack space in AV equipment rooms.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets environmental compliance requirements for commercial and institutional installations.
• Operating Range 0°C to 50°C — Reliable performance across the full temperature range of AV equipment rooms and data center environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many AV-over-IP endpoints can this switch support?

The 12 copper ports can directly connect 12 MXNet or SDVoE endpoints. Using the SFP28 uplinks to connect additional switches, a single stack can scale to hundreds of endpoints while maintaining centralized management.

Does this switch require any special configuration for SDVoE or MXNet deployments?

The switch supports IGMP snooping, VLAN, and QoS features needed for AV-over-IP. AVPro Edge provides configuration guides specific to MXNet deployments. General SDVoE network design practices apply.

Can I mix 10G and 25G transceivers in the SFP28 ports?

Yes. Each SFP28 port is individually configurable and accepts both 10G SFP+ and 25G SFP28 transceivers, allowing mixed-speed uplink configurations within the same switch.

What is the maximum PoE power available per port?

Each of the 12 copper ports supports up to 90W under IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++). Total PoE budget across all ports is 480W, which must be shared among active PoE devices.

Can multiple switches be stacked for larger installations?

Yes. The switch supports native stacking, allowing multiple units to operate as a single logical switch with a unified management interface — essential for large venues requiring more than 12 AV-over-IP endpoints at 10G.

Is this switch compatible with third-party SDVoE devices?

The switch implements standard IEEE 802.1 and 802.3 protocols compatible with any SDVoE-compliant device. Specific interoperability with non-MXNet SDVoE gear should be validated with AVPro Edge technical support.
