The Luminex GigaCore 10 (LU0100058-NQM) is a cutting-edge 10-Port 1-Gigabit Ethernet Switch that integrates 8 x Neutrik EtherCON connectors and 2 x OpticalCON Quad MMF connectors, specifically designed for the demanding environment of live events and touring. This versatile switch is tailored to address the challenges of the AV industry, offering seamless setup, adaptability, and durable performance in compact form.
With its innovative design, the GigaCore 10 supports a variety of mounting options, including truss, wall, or rack installation, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The unit's easy group function simplifies the process of modifying groups, adjusting port settings, or adding new devices to the network without requiring a complete system reprogramming. This flexibility is crucial for AV technicians who need to respond rapidly to changing event requirements.
The GigaCore 10 is engineered for effortless operation, employing plug-and-play technology that allows AV professionals to set up a fully pre-configured Ethernet switch quickly. With RGB LED indicators and an intuitive web interface, users can establish a converged network for lighting, audio, and video in just minutes, avoiding potential bandwidth issues.
Reliability is a hallmark of the GigaCore 10, constructed with a rugged housing and high-quality connectors designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live performances. The switch's software is compatible with all common AV industry protocols, ensuring it operates flawlessly with a wide array of fixtures connected to the network. For added reliability, multiple GigaCore 10 units can be combined in a single 1U rack space, functioning in a primary/secondary mode to ensure uninterrupted service.
Network management is streamlined through Araneo, a comprehensive tool that allows for centralized monitoring and control of the GigaCore network. In online mode, Araneo displays real-time data streams and network topology, as well as the status of each port, enabling technicians to proactively address any issues before they affect the performance of the event. The offline mode of Araneo allows for pre-event planning of network topology and settings, significantly reducing the time required for network commissioning. The Health Check feature continuously monitors critical parameters to maintain network consistency.
The GigaCore 10 is specifically tailored for the AV industry, featuring pre-configured settings for Quality of Service (QoS) and IGMP snooping, facilitating user-friendly operation without needing extensive IT expertise. Link aggregation capabilities enable multiple Inter-Switch Links (ISL) to be consolidated into a single virtual link, enhancing bandwidth between switches. The RlinkX redundancy protocol ensures automatic signal takeover in milliseconds during link failures, ensuring reliable network operation.
Power over Ethernet (PoE+) capabilities allow the GigaCore 10 to deliver up to 130W across all ports, providing sufficient power for fixtures, nodes, cameras, and intercom systems through a single Ethernet connection. The integration of rugged Fiber connectivity options enhances the switch's versatility, making it an ideal solution for long-distance coverage in challenging environments.
In summary, the Luminex GigaCore 10 (LU0100058-NQM) is a powerful, flexible, and reliable Ethernet switch designed to meet the evolving needs of the live events and touring industry, ensuring that AV professionals can focus on creativity and performance rather than technical complications.
