Luxul AV Series 16-Port Gigabit Switch with US Power Cord - AGS-1016

Product Overview

The Luxul AGS-1016 is a 16-port gigabit switch built specifically for commercial AV environments where reliable, silent, and straightforward network distribution is a priority. Designed as a plug-and-play AV network switch, the AGS-1016 requires no configuration software or managed switch expertise, making it well-suited for AV integrators deploying network infrastructure in conference rooms, boardrooms, and multi-purpose AV spaces. The fanless unmanaged gigabit switch design eliminates fan noise entirely, a critical requirement for audio-sensitive environments such as boardrooms, training rooms, and houses of worship. Housed in a standard 19-inch rack-mount enclosure with a three-year limited warranty, the AGS-1016 is a dependable foundation for AV system network infrastructure.

Product Description

The Luxul AGS-1016 AV Series 16-Port Gigabit Switch is purpose-built for the demands of commercial AV installations. With 16 Gigabit RJ45 ports and a 32 Gbps non-blocking, full-duplex switching fabric, this 16-port gigabit switch for commercial AV delivers wire-speed performance across all ports simultaneously, ensuring that AV-over-IP streams, control signals, and standard data traffic do not compete for bandwidth. The fully fanless design means the AGS-1016 operates in complete silence, a requirement for any deployment in acoustically sensitive spaces such as conference rooms, boardrooms, or houses of worship where switching fan noise is unacceptable. Auto Uplink (MDI/MDI-X) on all ports eliminates the need for crossover cables during installation, reducing both installation time and the chance of cabling errors. The plug-and-play architecture means the switch is operational immediately upon power-up with no software, web interface, or CLI configuration required — a practical advantage for AV integrators on tight installation schedules. User-selectable green or blue front panel LEDs allow the AGS-1016 to match the aesthetic preferences of the installation environment or align with existing equipment visual standards. The 19-inch rack-mount enclosure integrates directly into standard AV and IT equipment racks, consolidating the network switch alongside other rack-mounted AV components. The AGS-1016 carries a three-year limited warranty, providing procurement teams and facilities managers with a reliable support horizon for infrastructure purchases. For AV system designers specifying unmanaged switching for AV-over-IP distribution systems, digital signage networks, or multi-room audio/video installations, the AGS-1016 provides a cost-effective and operationally straightforward solution backed by Luxul's AV-focused engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Luxul AGS-1016 compatible with AV-over-IP systems such as those using NDI, SDVoE, or similar protocols?
A: Yes. The AGS-1016 is a gigabit unmanaged switch with a 32 Gbps non-blocking fabric, which provides adequate bandwidth for AV-over-IP distribution. However, some AV-over-IP protocols (particularly those requiring IGMP snooping for multicast management) may require a managed switch for larger or more complex deployments. For straightforward point-to-point or small-scale AV-over-IP installations, the AGS-1016 is a practical and cost-effective choice.

Q: Does the AGS-1016 support IGMP snooping for multicast AV traffic?
A: No. The AGS-1016 is an unmanaged switch and does not support IGMP snooping. For deployments relying heavily on multicast AV streams across many ports, a managed switch with IGMP snooping support is recommended. For small AV-over-IP systems or point-to-point configurations, the AGS-1016 is appropriate.

Q: Can the AGS-1016 be mounted in a standard AV equipment rack?
A: Yes. The AGS-1016 is housed in a standard 19-inch rack-mount enclosure and integrates directly into standard AV and IT equipment racks. Confirm rack unit height against the product datasheet when planning rack layout.

Q: What does fanless operation mean for installation in a conference room or boardroom?
A: Fanless operation means the AGS-1016 produces no audible fan noise during operation. This is specifically important in audio-sensitive commercial AV environments such as boardrooms, conference rooms, and houses of worship, where switching noise from active cooling can be audible through microphones or in quiet room conditions.

Q: Does the AGS-1016 require any configuration or setup software?
A: No. The AGS-1016 is a plug-and-play unmanaged switch. It requires no configuration software, web interface, or command-line setup. The switch is fully operational immediately upon connecting power and network cables, which reduces installation time for AV integrators.

Q: What is the warranty coverage for the AGS-1016?
A: The AGS-1016 carries a three-year limited warranty from Luxul. This provides commercial and institutional buyers with a defined support horizon for infrastructure purchases. Contact Luxul or your authorized reseller for warranty claim procedures.

Q: What power cord is included with the AGS-1016?
A: The AGS-1016 ships with a standard US power cord. Verify local power requirements before deployment in non-US markets.
