HUDSON, MA and GAITHERSBURG, MD: Artel Video Systems—a brand of Patton® and producer of Media Transport Products—today announced the next-generation Quarra PTP-10G4POE—a high-performance Precision Timing Protocol (PTP) Ethernet switch engineered for broadcast, ProAV, 5G, defense, and industrial networks—is now available for pre-order.

Mission critical. Built for mission-critical timing and synchronization, the carrier-class switch combines IEEE 1588 PTPv2 precision, IGMPv3, advanced PoE+ capabilities, and 10 Gigabit uplink performance in one ruggedized platform.

“The Quarra PTP-10G4POE reflects our commitment to delivering precise timing, resilient networking, and scalable 10G performance for the most demanding broadcast and industrial applications,” said Tim Godby, Director Media Transport Systems, Artel Video Systems.

Built for precision. The Quarra PTP-10G4POE delivers nanosecond-accurate synchronization with support for all IEEE 1588 clocking modes, including:

• Ordinary Clock
• Boundary Clock
• Peer-to-Peer Transparent Clock
• End-to-End Transparent Clock

Enhanced timing. The switch also supports NTP v4 and sNTP for enhanced timing stability and security.

Power meets performance. Designed for demanding IP media and industrial environments, the switch features:

•  24x 10/100/1000 RJ-45 PoE+ ports
• 4x 1G SFP fiber ports
• 4x 1G/10G SFP+ uplink ports
• 136 Gbps switching fabric
• 8 priority queues for deterministic traffic handling

Ready for modern media networks. The Quarra PTP-10G4POE has been tested for interoperability with:

• SMPTE ST 2110
• SDVoE
• AES67
• Dante

Tested. Integration testing has also been completed with industry-standard Grandmaster clocks, including Meinberg and Sonifex.

Built tough. Engineered for harsh deployments, the switch operates in temperatures from -40°C to +60°C and meets IP-30 industrial standards.

Smart management. Operators can configure and monitor the switch through:

• Intuitive Web GUI
• Local or remote CLI
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 support

Additional capabilities include IGMP Snooping, DHCP Relay Option 82, RSTP/MSTP/ERPS/LACP redundancy, PoE scheduling, PD Alive Check, and advanced traffic management.

Availability. The Quarra PTP-10G4POE is now available for preorder for customers desiring to build next-generation synchronized IP networks.
