Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F130 RED 2xSM Optical AV Over IP Video System for 10G Networks with Full USB 2.0 support - 91820402

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F130 RED 2xSM is an uncompressed AV-over-IP encoder/decoder for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks, supporting 4K60 4:4:4 HDMI distribution with full USB 2.0 extension and connecting via two single-mode fiber SFP+ ports. The 2xSM (dual single-mode) variant is designed for installations requiring long-distance fiber links — inter-building campus runs or data center interconnects — where multimode fiber or copper CAT cabling cannot reach. The RED license provides advanced routing and management capabilities within the UBEX ecosystem.

Product Description

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-F130 RED 2xSM operates identically to the 2xCAT and 2xMM variants in terms of video performance — uncompressed HDMI 2.0 up to 4K60 4:4:4 HDR, full USB 2.0 extension at 480 Mbps, analog and embedded audio, RS-232, and Ethernet pass-through — but connects to the 10G network via two LC-terminated single-mode fiber SFP+ ports. Single-mode fiber allows transmission over distances far exceeding multimode or copper, making this the appropriate choice for campus-wide or inter-building AV-over-IP infrastructure. SFP+ modules are used in the fiber ports, allowing integration with existing fiber plant using standard 10G SFP+ transceivers. The two ports enable network redundancy or dual-switch connectivity. All UBEX units in an installation are managed centrally via UBEX Manager software.

Key Features

• Uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 HDR — Full-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 over 10G Ethernet with no compression or codec latency.
• Full USB 2.0 Extension — USB 2.0 at 480 Mbps extended over the 10G fiber link for centralized USB peripheral management.
• Dual Single-Mode Fiber SFP+ Ports (2xSM) — Two LC single-mode fiber ports for long-distance inter-building or campus AV-over-IP links.
• SFP+ Module Compatibility — Standard 10G SFP+ transceivers integrate with existing fiber plant infrastructure.
• Network Redundancy — Dual ports support dual-switch redundancy or link aggregation for high-availability deployments.
• RED Advanced License — Advanced routing, multi-user management, and expanded API included.
• Encoder/Decoder in One Unit — Configurable as transmitter or receiver; simplifies system design and spare parts management.

Typical Applications

• Campus-wide 4K AV distribution between buildings over existing single-mode fiber
• Data center to presentation space video routing over long-distance fiber
• Broadcast facility inter-building signal distribution
• Government multi-building campus AV infrastructure with network redundancy
• University campus AV-over-IP where building separations exceed multimode fiber range

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum fiber distance for the 2xSM variant?

With standard 10GBASE-LR SFP+ modules, single-mode fiber links up to 10 km are supported. Extended-reach SFP+ modules can achieve greater distances depending on fiber quality and switch compatibility.

What SFP+ modules are required?

Standard 10GBASE-LR or compatible single-mode 10G SFP+ transceivers are used. Lightware or compatible third-party SFP+ modules can be specified based on required fiber distance.

What is the difference between 2xSM and 2xMM?

2xSM uses single-mode fiber for long-distance runs (typically 10 km+ with appropriate SFP+). 2xMM uses multimode fiber for shorter intra-building runs (typically up to 300 m on OM4).

Does the F130 2xSM include USB extension?

Yes. All F130 models include full USB 2.0 extension at up to 480 Mbps regardless of the network interface variant.

Can this unit be used on a campus-wide 10G fiber network?

Yes. The 2xSM variant is specifically designed for inter-building and campus-wide deployments using existing single-mode fiber plant.
