Luminex GigaCore 16Xt Pre-Configured Ethernet Switch with PoE Supply

About: Luminex GigaCore 16Xt Pre-Configured Ethernet Switch with PoE Supply

A pre-configured ethernet switch designed for professional AV solutions, perfect for touring and live events.

The GigaCore 16Xt with PoE supply is a Gigabit Ethernet switch designed to cope with the most demanding lighting and AV installations. Managed through an intuitive web interface, the unit can also be configured from the front-end display, making this switch a hassle-free solution for your everyday job. Four SFP cages also offer users the ability to create complex network topologies over fiber links, such as mesh or ring. Its wide range of up-to-date features and optional accessories makes the GigaCore 16Xt one of the most secure systems in the industry.

• Tailored for AV industry - Pre-configured settings that are common in the AV industry, such as QoS and IGMP snooping.
• Easy set-up with front display - Easy group function with pre-configured VLAN’s for a quick set-up (without IT knowledge).
• Touring approved - Metal housing and ruggedized Ethercon connectors, ideal for touring and live events.
• Converged networking - Transfer multiple protocols (Dante, RAVENNA/AES67, ArtNet, MANet 1&2, sACN,Q-LAN …)
• Ultimate link redundancy - RLinkX redundancy protocol automatically takes over signal in milliseconds in case of a link failure.
• PoE+ - Don’t worry about power plugs anymore. PoE+ powers-up all compatible devices within the network.

Araneo to manage and monitor the complete system

All GigaCore switches can be managed with a single network-wide tool: Araneo

Araneo’s online mode shows everything you need to know about the status of your GigaCore network. Data streams and topology are visualized as are the port status of every GigaCore. Monitor your network with confidence and act before the show gets interrupted!

In the Offline mode, Araneo lets you plan in advance the complete network topology and all Gigacore settings. Reducing network commissioning time to a mere click of a button

Focus on being creative again.

Stop wasting time on programming your network or rely on someone else to do it for you. With Luminex GigaCore switches and only some basic AV knowledge, you can do it all by yourself in just the blink of an eye. Now you can finally focus on your core business as an AV technician or designer: “being creative”!

Redundant Power Supply Unit (RPSU) (Optional)

Connect the GigaCore 16Xt to a GigaCore RPSU for ultimate redundancy, even on power level (and PoE). If for some reason the built-in power supply fails, the RPSU keeps your system up and running.
