Technical specifications GigaCore 16i

1. APPLICATIONS
10 Gigabit Ethernet switch

The GigaCore 16i is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch ina ½ 19” package, dedicated to AV integration andinstallations where there are specific requirements toavailable space and mounting, and - like all GigaCore
switches - designed to provide out of the box support tothe most advanced AV protocols.
In combination with the Araneo software platform,
GigaCore 16i is the ideal solution to deploy an AV
network with one click in any installation.
Each GigaCore can be intuitively configured in asystem-wide, consistent way with the Araneo network
monitoring, planning, and management software.
Araneo will boost your productivity and confidence
in the network and will reduce commissioning times
significantly. Next to this, each GigaCore has its own Web
UI that can be used to configure each switch individuallyin an intuitive manner.
GigaCore 16i is an indispensable part of any AV network
where reliability and a quick and easy setup are needed.
As a user, you don’t need to make choices nor tradeoffs
as GigaCore handles most AV protocols for you: Predefined QoS/DiffServ (Quality of Service) settings,
optimized IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
per group (VLAN) and pre-defined yet editable groups(VLANs) to easily separate your network in different
applications making converged networking obvious,easy, and reliable.
Also included is Luminex’s advanced, automatedredundancy protocol RLinkX that ensures redundantlinks and ring topology within your GigaCore network.
Bandwidth, connectivity, and port availability areensured with 4 x independent SFP+ ports capable ofdata transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbps and 12 x 1Gbps
RJ45 copper ports.

Time synchronization is crucial in many applications andwith GigaCore 16i you have a hassle-free PTPV2 enabledswitch which will work for most major audio protocols(e.g. AES67, AVB/Milan ST2110, Dante, Q-sys/Q-lan, …)
without the need for making any complicated device
settings, even in a combined setup of AVB/Milan andDante/AES67/ST2110.
AV installations constantly push the limits, and theneed to deploy PoE powered devices is continuously
increasing. GigaCore 16i provides a solution by offering
PoE++ on all ports (90W per port with a total PoE budgetof up to 450W) as an option. PoE redundancy and/or ahigher power budget up to 900W can be obtained byconnecting an optional second power supply unit.
GigaCore 16i has been designed to ensure low noise
operation and has intelligent fan control, giving you
more installation options with peace of mind that no live
audience or recording session will be disturbed.
For those installations where a clean front panel isrequired, an optional 19” flush mount LED panel can beconnected to a rear-mounted GigaCore 16i.
The GigaCore 16i has very flexible mounting options andcan be mounted with a 100mm x 100mm vesa-spaced
mount points or can be combined side by side with asecond ½ 19” unit (e.g. GigaCore 16i, GigaCore 10i) ina single 19” rack space to provide redundancy, often
needed for audio networking, and/or to provide a higher
amount of ports.
