Luminex GigaCore 10i - 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch with 8 x 1G RJ45 and 2 x 10G SFP+ Connectors in Blue Finish

The Luminex GigaCore 10i (LU0100089-10G) is a highly versatile 10-Port Gigabit Ethernet Switch specifically engineered for AV integration and installations where space is at a premium. Featuring a compact 1/2 19-inch package, this switch is tailored for professional applications in lighting, audio, and video, meeting the demands of frequent setup and teardown requirements. The GigaCore 10i is finished in an attractive blue, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while maintaining its robust functionality.

This advanced Ethernet switch is designed to provide out-of-the-box support for the most sophisticated AV protocols, making it a reliable backbone for converged networks that allow multiple applications to coexist. The integration with the Araneo software platform elevates the deployment process, enabling users to establish an entire AV network with just a single click. With Araneo, users can enjoy consistent network management and monitoring, significantly boosting productivity and confidence in network reliability while substantially reducing commissioning times.

Equipped with an intuitive web user interface (Web UI), the GigaCore 10i allows for individual configuration of each switch, ensuring ease of use and accessibility for installers. Furthermore, an integrated e-ink display provides essential status information even when the device is powered down, adding an extra layer of convenience for users.

As a vital component of any AV network, the GigaCore 10i eliminates the need for users to make complex choices or trade-offs. It seamlessly manages a wide range of AV protocols through pre-defined QoS/DiffServ settings, optimized IGMP configurations per VLAN, and predefined yet editable VLAN groups that facilitate easy network segmentation for various applications. Additionally, the advanced RLinkX redundancy protocol is included, ensuring robust redundancy and ring topology within the GigaCore network, thereby enhancing reliability.

Connectivity options are plentiful with the GigaCore 10i, featuring 2 x independent SFP+ ports capable of delivering data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. These ports are complemented by 8 x 1Gbps RJ45 copper ports, providing flexibility for various AV installations. The intelligent design of the GigaCore 10i includes time synchronization capabilities through a hassle-free PTPv2 enabled switch, compatible with major audio protocols such as AES67, AVB/Milan, ST2110, Dante, and Q-sys/Q-LAN. This functionality simplifies integration and deployment in environments where precise timing is crucial, even in mixed setups involving AVB/Milan and Dante/AES67/ST2110.

The GigaCore 10i also meets the increasing demand for PoE powered devices by offering PoE++ capabilities on all ports, delivering up to 90W per port with a total PoE budget of 180W. This feature provides a versatile solution for powering network devices, reducing the need for separate power sources. The intelligent fan control system ensures low noise operation, allowing for flexible installation options without disturbing live audiences or recording sessions.

Flexible mounting options further enhance the GigaCore 10i's versatility, allowing it to be mounted using 100mm x 100mm VESA-spaced mount points. Additionally, it can be combined side by side with another 1/2 19-inch unit, such as the GigaCore 16i or another GigaCore 10i, within a single 19-inch rack space to provide additional data redundancy or increase port availability as required.
