The Luminex GigaCore 30i (LU0100077-10P-1S5) is an advanced 30-Port Gigabit PoE++ Ethernet switch, meticulously engineered for AV integration, installation, and touring applications. This model features 24 x 1G RJ45 ports and 6 x 10G SFP+ connectors, providing robust connectivity options tailored for high-performance audio and video environments. The switch is housed in a striking blue finish that not only enhances its aesthetics but also ensures durability in demanding setups.
At the core of the GigaCore 30i's functionality is its compatibility with the Araneo software platform, which facilitates seamless deployment of entire AV networks with just one click. The intuitive built-in AV Web UI allows for straightforward configuration, while Araneo enables comprehensive system-wide management across the Luminex network. This combination significantly boosts productivity, enhances user confidence in network reliability, and drastically reduces commissioning times, making the GigaCore 30i an essential component of any professional AV setup.
This switch is designed to eliminate common concerns around bandwidth and connectivity. With six independent SFP+ ports supporting data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps and 24 x 1 Gbps copper ports, the GigaCore 30i is equipped to handle the demands of modern AV applications. It supports jumbo frames with a maximum transmission unit (MTU) of 12,000, facilitating efficient data transmission and reducing latency in high-demand scenarios.
Time synchronization is critical in many AV setups, and the GigaCore 30i simplifies this process with its PTPv2-enabled functionality, which works seamlessly with major audio protocols such as AES67, ST2110, Dante, and Q-SYS/Q-LAN. This feature eliminates the need for complex configuration processes, ensuring that the switch can be deployed quickly and reliably.
The GigaCore 30i also addresses the increasing need for PoE-powered devices in entertainment installations by offering PoE++ support across all ports. Each port can deliver up to 90W, contributing to a total PoE budget of up to 1000W, allowing for the easy connection of various devices, including cameras and lighting fixtures. This flexibility significantly reduces cabling complexity and enhances overall installation efficiency.
To further ensure network reliability, the GigaCore 30i includes two slots for optional hot-swappable power supply units, allowing for redundancy in a compact 1U rack space. Intelligent fan control technology has been implemented to minimize operational noise, making it suitable for environments where sound levels must be kept to a minimum, such as during live performances or recording sessions. Additionally, for installations that require a clean aesthetic, an optional 19" flush mount LED panel can be connected to the rear of the switch.
In summary, the Luminex GigaCore 30i (LU0100077-10P-1S5) is a versatile, high-performance Ethernet switch designed specifically for the demanding needs of AV integration and touring applications. With its combination of advanced features, intuitive management, and robust connectivity options, it stands out as an indispensable tool for any modern AV network.
