• Robust Switching - L2 switching including VLAN, port Trunking, QoS, span tree protocol and IGMP multicast services.
• Packet Filtering - Hard-wired based ACL rules for traffic filtering to enhance security and control traffic flows.
• Audio & Video - Tested and fully interoperable with SMPTE 2110, ST-2022-7, SDVoE (Tx/Rx), AES67 and Dante.
• Grandmaster Integration - Interoperates with all standard Grandmaster Clocks such as the Thales, GM200, Meinberg, Sonifex and the like.
• Multiple Use-Cases - Designed for ProAV, Media Broadcast over IP, 3G/4G/5G backhaul, and Industrial Automation.
• Powerful Switch Characteristics - 256Gbps Switch Fabric, 8 Priority Queues per port, 10K Bytes Jumbo Frame, 32K MAC Table Size and 32Mbits Packet Buffer.
• Traffic Management - Supports IEEE 802.3x flow control to manage traffic to prevent network congestion and data loss.
• DHCP - DHCP client/snooping/relay option 82 for policies IP address assignment.
• Management - Easily managed from an intuitive Web GUI, Telnet and SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for network management. Remote management traffic can be encrypted or isolated for security.

Artel’s PTP-10GSE12SFP PTP Ethernet Switch features twelve (12) 10G Uplink SFP Ports, plus eight (8) 10/100/1000 copper Ethernet Ports.  It is designed for Media Broadcast, Defense and Industrial markets ideal for Core Switching for Pro-AV, Media Transport, Factory Automation and 4G/5G mobile backhaul applications. 

These Carrier Class Switches offer highly accurate nanosecond timing and control.  IEEE 1588 PTPv2 with all clocking modes (Ordinary, Boundary etc.), plus SyncE means these units are ready for use cases where high performance switching and wire speed connectivity are required for time sensitive networking.

Port-based synchronization management means that each Ethernet port (copper or fiber port) can be individually configured to deliver the timestamp messages of SyncE or IEEE 1588v2 inside Ethernet packets for precision timing.  A 1PPS input/output interface (SMA connector) supports an external clock source for the network (input) or for waveform measurement of IEEE 1588v2 via external instruments (output).  The unit interoperates with all standard Grandmaster Clocks such as the Thales, GM200, Meinberg, Sonifex and the like.

The robust Layer 2 switching platform offers 256Gbps Switch Fabric, 8 Priority Queues per port, 10K Bytes Jumbo Frame, 32K MAC Table Size and 32Mbits Packet Buffer.  

The software offers VLAN, Port Trunking, QoS, Spanning Tree protocol and IGMP multicast services.  Packet Filtering is performed with hard-wired based ACL rules for traffic filtering to enhance security and control traffic flows.  Traffic Management is done using IEEE 802.3x to prevent network congestion and data loss.

Supports IGMP Snooping v1/v2/v3, IGMP proxy, MLD snooping v1/v2, IGMP fast leave, and DHCP client/snooping/relay option 82 for policies IP address assignment.

The device is easily managed using an intuitive Web GUI, Telnet and SNMPv1/v2c/v3 for network management.  Remote management traffic can be encrypted or isolated for security.

The units are tested and fully interoperable with SMPTE 2110, ST-2022-7, SDVoE (Tx/Rx), AES67 and Dante.

The Quarra PTP-10GSE12SFP is a flexible combination Leaf Switch & Spine Switch with 12x 10G SFP Ports for aggregating connectivity from other switches and with 8x 10/100/1000 copper local ethernet ports.  The device is used for time sensitive switching and transport of Media Broadcast (ST2110), factory automation and 4G/5G mobile backhaul.
