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

The Luminex GigaCore 10i (LU0100089-10G-P500) is a state-of-the-art 10-Port Gigabit PoE++ Ethernet Switch specifically designed for AV integration and installations that demand efficient space utilization and versatile mounting options. Housed in a sleek 1/2 19-inch form factor and finished in a striking blue, this switch is engineered to meet the rigorous requirements of professional audio and video applications, particularly in environments that require frequent setup and dismantling.

At the heart of the GigaCore 10i is its robust architecture that supports advanced AV protocols out of the box, providing a seamless experience for users in deploying and managing complex AV networks. When paired with the Araneo software platform, the GigaCore 10i enables quick deployment of an entire AV network with just a single click. Each GigaCore switch can be easily configured in a systematic manner using the intuitive Araneo network monitoring, planning, and management software, enhancing user productivity and confidence while significantly reducing commissioning times. Additionally, the GigaCore 10i features its own dedicated Web UI for individual switch configuration, ensuring that users can manage settings effortlessly and intuitively.

This Ethernet switch is a critical component of any AV network that values reliability and ease of setup. With pre-defined QoS/DiffServ settings and optimized IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) configurations per VLAN, users can seamlessly separate their networks to facilitate different applications, making the concept of converged networking both clear and reliable. The inclusion of Luminex's advanced RLinkX redundancy protocol provides additional security by ensuring redundant links and supporting ring topology within the GigaCore network, thus enhancing operational resilience.

The GigaCore 10i offers impressive connectivity options with 2 x independent SFP+ ports capable of delivering data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps, complemented by 8 x 1Gbps RJ45 copper ports. This combination guarantees ample bandwidth, connectivity, and port availability for even the most demanding installations. Time synchronization is seamlessly managed through the hassle-free PTPv2 enabled switch, which is compatible with major audio protocols such as AES67, AVB/Milan, ST2110, Dante, and Q-sys/Q-LAN. Users can confidently operate mixed setups of AVB/Milan and Dante/AES67/ST2110 without the need for complicated configurations.

In response to the growing trend of deploying PoE-powered devices, the GigaCore 10i supports PoE++ across all ports, delivering up to 90W per port with a total PoE budget of 180W. This feature simplifies the power management of network devices, reducing the need for separate power supplies and enhancing overall efficiency. Designed for low-noise operation, the switch incorporates intelligent fan control, ensuring quiet performance that won't disturb live audiences or recording sessions.

The GigaCore 10i also features flexible mounting solutions, including options for 100mm x 100mm VESA-spaced mounting points, and 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. This allows for enhanced data redundancy and increased port availability, making it ideal for audio networking applications.
