Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2SM Optical AV Over IP Video System for 10G Networks - 91820002

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2SM is an F-type (transmitter) AV-over-IP node in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI series, shipping with two single-mode (SM) SFP+ fiber transceivers pre-installed. Designed for uncompressed 4K HDMI 2.0 distribution over 10 Gigabit Ethernet, the F100 series is the entry-level chassis in the UBEX Pro20 line, supporting single fiber link operation. This unit targets commercial AV integrators building long-distance, fiber-based AV-over-IP systems for corporate campuses, government facilities, and multi-building education deployments. Long-tail keywords: Lightware UBEX Pro20 HDMI single-mode fiber transmitter, 10G AV over IP single-mode SFP, uncompressed 4K AV-over-IP fiber encoder.

Product Description

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F100 RED 2SM accepts an HDMI 2.0 source signal and encodes it into an uncompressed IP stream transmitted over 10GbE via two included single-mode SFP+ transceivers. Single-mode fiber provides significantly greater reach than multimode, making this configuration suitable for inter-building runs and large campus deployments where distances exceed multimode limits. The F100 chassis provides one active fiber link with a second port for redundancy or future expansion.

Like all UBEX Pro20 HDMI units, this transmitter integrates fully with Lightware Device Controller (LDC) software for system-wide routing, monitoring, and EDID management. RS-232 and TCP/IP control ports enable third-party control system integration. The chassis is 1RU rack-mountable and suited to permanent AV equipment room installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the F100 and F110 chassis?

The F100 is the base chassis supporting a single fiber link per port, while the F110 offers additional fiber redundancy or multi-link configurations. Both ship with SFP+ transceiver options; the F100 2SM includes two single-mode transceivers.

How far can single-mode fiber transmit the signal?

Single-mode fiber can carry 10GbE signals over distances of several kilometers, far exceeding multimode fiber limitations. The exact reach depends on the SFP+ transceiver specifications selected.

Does this unit require a dedicated 10GbE switch?

Yes. A 10GbE network switch with support for jumbo frames and IGMP snooping is required for proper operation in a multi-node environment.

Is this unit compatible with existing Lightware matrix switchers?

The UBEX Pro20 HDMI series operates as an AV-over-IP system on 10GbE networks. It is separate from Lightware's TPS/HDBaseT matrix product line but can coexist within broader AV infrastructure.

Can I mix single-mode and multimode nodes in the same system?

Both connect to the same 10GbE switch fabric, but SM and MM fiber plants are physically separate. Nodes with different fiber types require appropriate switches or media converters to interconnect.

Where can I purchase this product?

Available directly from Creation Networks, an authorized Lightware commercial AV reseller.
