Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-QUAD R-type Uncompressed AV-Over-IP Multimedia System for 10G Ethernet Networks - 91820304

Product Overview

The Lightware UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-QUAD is an R-type (receiver) AV-over-IP node in the UBEX Pro20 HDMI series, shipping with two single-mode (SM) SFP+ transceivers in a QUAD fiber configuration. Combining the long-distance reach of single-mode fiber with a four-fiber QUAD port arrangement, this receiver is designed for high-availability, resilient AV-over-IP deployments across campus and multi-building environments. The QUAD configuration provides active fiber redundancy, making it the premium choice for mission-critical installations where a fiber link failure cannot be permitted to interrupt signal delivery. Keywords: Lightware UBEX Pro20 HDMI receiver single-mode QUAD fiber redundancy, 10G AV over IP receiver SM QUAD resilient, uncompressed 4K HDMI receiver high-availability fiber.

Product Description

The UBEX-Pro20-HDMI-R100 2xSM-QUAD receives uncompressed HDMI 2.0 IP streams from a 10GbE network and outputs native HDMI 2.0 to a local display or endpoint. Two single-mode SFP+ transceivers are included and configured in a QUAD arrangement — using four fiber strands — providing active link redundancy. If one fiber path is interrupted, the system continues operating on the remaining path, protecting signal continuity in high-stakes environments.

Signal integrity is maintained at full HDMI 2.0 specification — 4K/60Hz 4:4:4, HDR, HDCP 2.2, and 8-channel audio — with no compression. Lightware Device Controller (LDC) provides centralized routing and monitoring, and RS-232, TCP/IP, and USB control interfaces enable integration with Crestron, AMX, Extron, and Q-SYS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 2xSM-QUAD mean?

2xSM denotes two single-mode SFP+ transceivers included. QUAD describes the four-fiber port configuration — compared to DUO's two fibers — enabling active link redundancy where loss of one fiber path does not interrupt the signal.

Is the QUAD configuration actively redundant or do I need to configure failover?

The QUAD configuration supports active fiber redundancy at the physical layer. Consult Lightware's LDC documentation and UBEX Pro20 system design guide for specific failover configuration procedures.

When should I choose QUAD over DUO?

Choose QUAD when signal continuity must be maintained even in the event of a fiber strand failure — such as in government, mission-critical, or broadcast-adjacent facilities where AV downtime carries significant operational cost.

What fiber cable is required?

Single-mode OS2 fiber with LC connectors, meeting the specifications of the included SFP+ transceivers. Verify the transceiver datasheet for maximum distance on your installed fiber.

Can I mix QUAD and DUO receivers in the same system?

Yes. QUAD and DUO receivers are interoperable within the same UBEX Pro20 HDMI 10GbE system. The fiber configuration affects only the physical layer; IP routing and management are uniform across all node types.

Where can I purchase this product?
