Purpose-built for demanding, high-density AV-over-IP environments, AVPro Edge engineered the advanced AC-MXNET-SW48E network switch to deliver uncompromising performance, enhanced scalability, and unmatched reliability at a cost-effective price.

With a powerful 740-watt PoE+ budget, the 48-port AC-MXNET-SW48E can independently and efficiently support a complete standalone MXnet 1G EVO I & EVO II system of up to 47 endpoints plus CBOX. Its pre-configured, plug-and-play design provides setup convenience for MXnet USP, 1G Evolution I & II, and Dante audio, eliminating the need for complex network configuration and enabling rapid, large-scale system deployments with minimal onsite time.

The AC-MXNET-SW48E is crafted around an OSI Layer 2.5 architecture that seamlessly blends advanced Layer 2 data link functions with select Layer 3 networking features, including optimized multicast routing. Out-of-the-box, it is pre-configured with VLAN segmentation, QoS prioritization, and IGMP snooping settings for fast and efficient system commissioning. At its core is AVPro Edge’s proprietary IAVP (Intelligent A/V Processing) suite, which intelligently manages multicast processor loads to maintain exceptional AV-over-IP traffic reliability while delivering non-blocking, Layer 3-class performance for substantially less than the cost of traditional full Layer 3 switches.

As the backbone in MXnet USP systems, the AC-MXNET-SW48E allows integrators to fully leverage the advantages of MXnet USP series Essential, Plus, and Pro endpoints. Its 6 x 1 Gbps/10 Gbps expansion ports deliver up to 60 Gbps of non-blocking throughput with optimized USP bandwidth distribution, ideal for large-scale, endpoint-intensive installations such as casinos, civic centers, and government facilities. This ensures dependable operation for mission-critical applications, including real-time video walls and multi-zone routing.

The AC-MXNET-SW48E streamlines deployment with PoE+ connectivity, six 1 Gbps/10 Gbps SFP+ expansion ports for effortless scalability, and MXnet-optimized profiles that remove the complexity of manual configuration. It delivers a flexible, cost-effective solution for professional-grade network performance across commercial environments such as hospitality, retail, and healthcare, and is equally suited for luxury residential AV systems. Like all AVPro Edge products, it is backed by AVPro Edge’s signature build quality and trusted reliability.

Key Benefits

Engineered With Cost-Effectiveness In Mind: Advanced Layer 2.5 (L2+) architecture combines Layer 2 efficiency with Layer 3 routing flexibility for improved traffic management and support of multiple protocols. Complexity is reduced without compromising latency, scalability, or inhibiting perceptible speed, balancing performance and cost for scalable AV deployments.

Non-blocking Architecture for USP Deployments: A stacking bandwidth of 60 Gbps exceeds the 2.88 Gbps maximum USP endpoint capacity for congestion-free stream routing.

48 PoE+ Copper Ports: Single-cable connectivity eliminates the need for external power supplies with a PoE+ budget of 740 watts, resulting in clutter-free, simplified installations with enhanced reliability and lower system costs.

6 x 1 Gbps/10 Gbps SFP+ Stacking Ports: Enables 6 x 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps stacking for USP/Dante audio systems, and consolidates large endpoint counts and uplinks seamlessly to core switches or stacked racks.

Dante Audio Prioritized: AVPro Edge is the first professional AV manufacturer to implement Dante-oriented QoS traffic prioritization to enhance network streaming performance in residential and commercial environments.

Pre-configured for MXnet USP, 1G V1/V2, and Dante: Truly plug-and-play in a standalone MXnet 1G EVO I or EVO II system, with out-of-the-box MXnet USP and Dante audio protocol support. VLAN, QoS, and IGMP settings are optimized, with no additional adjustments required.

1 RU Compact Rack Height: Standard AV rack mount spacing.

Note: There is an Installation Maximum of 4 Switch Hops.
