Preliminary Technical specifications GigaCore 18t

1. APPLICATIONS
10 Gigabit Ethernet switch

The GigaCore 18t is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch forProfessional touring applications in lighting, audio andvideo with a frequent tear-down & built-up requirement
or for any other application where ruggedized
connectivity is necessary.
It is designed to support the most advanced AV protocols
out of the box and is the backbone for a converged
network, allowing multiple applications to co-exist on
the same network.
The combination of GigaCore 18t and Araneo software
platform is the ideal solution to deploy an entire AV
network in just a few clicks. Each GigaCore switch can be
configured by an intuitive built-in AV Web UI.
Araneo, the network monitoring, planning andmanagement software will ensure consistent
management across the entire Luminex network.
The use of Araneo together with GigaCore switches will
increase your productivity and confidence in the network
as well as significantly reduce commissioning time.
An e-ink display informs the user about importantparameters of the switch also when the device is notpowered.
GigaCore 18t is an indispensable part of any mobile AV
network where reliability and a quick and easy setup areneeded.
As a user, you don’t need to make choices nor tradeoffs
as GigaCore manages most AV protocols for you out ofthe box: Pre-defined QoS/DiffServ (Quality of Service)settings, optimized IGMP (Internet Group ManagementProtocol) per group (VLAN) and pre-defined yet editablegroups (VLANs) to easily separate your network in
different applications making converged networks
obvious, easy, and reliable.

Bandwidth, connectivity, and port availability are notan issue anymore with 2 x independent SFP+ ports
capable of data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps. 8 x1Gbps copper ports with rugged EtherCON connectors
ensure robust connectivity. An additional 8 x 1Gbps
copper ports with RJ45 connectors offer increased
flexibility for routing and connectivity within the rack or
patch panels.
Luminex’ LED extension/patch panel, available asan accessory, with room for D-type connectors can belinked to GigaCore 18t, offering even more connectivity
possibilities.
Time synchronization is crucial in many applications;
GigaCore 18t offers you a hassle free PTPv2 enabledswitch which will work for most major audio protocols(e.g., AES67, ST2110, Dante, Q-sys/Q-lan, …) without
the need for making complicated configurations.
Furthermore AVB/MILAN is supported out of the box
on the management group (VLAN) and can operate
simultaneously with the aforementioned PTPv2
applications in a converged network on different Groups(VLANS).
Entertainment and touring setups constantly push
the limits. The deployment of PoE powered devices
is continuously increasing. GigaCore 18t is ahead of
this trend by offering PoE++ as an option on all copper
ports (90W per port with a total PoE budget of up to500W – stand-alone unit or up to 1000W - when used inconjunction with a separate RPSU unit).
Alternatively, this separately available RPSU unit can also
guarantee redundant power if a large total PoE budget is
not needed for the application.
Great care has been taken to ensure silent operation bymeans of intelligent fan control, giving you more options
with peace of mind that no live audience or recording
session would be disturbed.

Also included out of the box, is the advanced, automatedredundancy protocol RLinkX that ensures redundant
links and ring topology within your GigaCore network.
