Artel Announces New Carrier-Class PTP Switch Built for the Demands of Modern Broadcast

	Artel™ Quarra PTP-10GSE12SFP 10 Gbps PTP Ethernet Switch
	“The option for DC or AC, single or dual power supplies systems… make this a uniquely powerful and versatile part of any timing-sensitive media transport network." Tim Godby Director, Media Transport Systems Artel Video Systems

"We designed this switch with broadcast and Pro AV in mind," said Tim Godby, Director, Media Transport Systems, Artel Video Systems. "The option for DC or AC, single or dual power supplies, Sync-E, 1PPS input/output ports, and 12 SFP+ ports make this a uniquely powerful and versatile part of any timing-sensitive media transport network."

Carrier Class. The Quarra is a carrier-class managed Ethernet switch combining twelve (12) 10G SFP+ fiber ports with eight (8) copper Gigabit (RJ-45) ports. Boasting a flexible, future-ready design, the device provides Leaf Switch and a Spine Switch functions in a single ruggedized unit.

Timing Matters. In live broadcast, timing errors destroy content. The Quarra PTP-10GSE12SFP eliminates that risk. It supports IEEE 1588 PTPv2 with all clocking modes. Every port can be individually configured for SyncE or PTP timestamp delivery. A built-in 1PPS SMA connector supports external clock sources and waveform measurement.
