4.3.3 Short Reach (SR) SFP or Long Reach (LR) SFP
Single mode SFP transceivers can transmit anywhere from 2km up to 80km in distance. Standard
single mode SFPs may transmit up to 10km, while extended single mode SFPs can be up to 80km.
Multimode SFPs are an ideal solution for shorter distances and are more cost-effective. Standard
multimode SFPs can transmit up to 550m, while extended multimode SFPs can go up to 2km.
4.4 DAC Cables
A DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cable is a twinaxial copper cable that directly connects the ports
between the active devices, such as network switches, routers, servers, and data storage devices
within a network.
Both the AC-MXNET-SW24 and AC-MXNET-SW48 network switches are stackable, meaning that the
can operate either as a standalone unit or stack with other network switches via the four 10G SFP+
ports with DAC cables. The AC-MXNET-SW10 does not have SFP+ ports and can only send or receive
one source on one 1G SFP port.
4.5 HDMI Cables
The MXNet devices use standard 19-pin HDMI female connector ports for the inputs and outputs.
Some important things to consider when planning or installing MXNet devices:
• Ensure all HDMI cables and devices can support the signal being sent. For most use cases, a
High-Speed HDMI cable with Ethernet rated for 18Gbps will be more than sufficient to satisfy
signal transport if every device can handle the signal.
• Ensure your HDMI cable is the correct length. The current HDMI specification calls for cables to
be between 2 to 10 meters (6.6 to 33 feet). Smaller wire cables may be unable to transmit
higher bandwidth signals like 4K60 over distances of even 5 meters (16 feet).
4.6 USB Ports
The USB ports allow USB 2.0 extension. The encoder contains one USB 2.0 Type B port, and the
decoder contains two USB 2.0 Type A ports.
Both the encoder and decoder also contain one micro-USB Type B port. This is a courtesy port and is
primarily intended for AVPro Edge technical support servicing in the event of troubleshooting, or for
configuring the encoder and decoder for standalone point-to-point applications.
NOTE:
Chipset V1 decoders do not support High-Speed USB 2.0 device connections, while the
Chipset V2 decoders can support one isochronous connection to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 device
(such as a digital camera) using either USB port 1 or USB port 2 on the V2 decoder.
