INTRODUCTION
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
ProPlex GBS Gigabit Ethernet switches are designed for portable entertainment production amd are part of
the ProPlex Data Distribution range of products for complete touring show data management. Just a few
features include:
• Reconfigurable! Any combination of data port modules can be moved between front and rear panels
for practical gig-specif ic w ir i ng.
•
Built for extreme conditions. Shock-mounted circuitry. Advanced thermal management.
• Fibre option via one or two heavy-duty OpticalCON QUAD connectors. OpticalCON DUO also
available by special order.
• Gigabit Ethernet: 10 ports with tour-grade EtherCON connec tors . Up to 10 tour-gr ade Eth erCO N
connectors or up to 8 EtherCON ports with optional fibre connectivity via 1 or 2 heavy-duty
OpticalCON QUAD connectors.
• PoE and non-PoE versions available
• Compatible with a wide range of entertainment-specific protocols, including sACN, ArtNet,
CobraNet, Dante, ETCNet, Ethersound, MA-Net, and more!
• Variable power input, 90-260 VAC, 50-60 Hz with PowerCON connector
• ProPlex “Blue Box” RackMount, rugged tour-ready enclosure
The rugged ProPlex GBS 10-port is suitable for high-volume, multicast, video, audio, or lighting data
streaming with forwarding rate of 14.88 million Packets per Second (64-byte packets ) and Switc hi ng
Capacity of 20.0 Gigabits per Second. ProPlex GBS supports:
• 4,096 simultaneous VLANs, port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs and MAC-bas ed VL AN
• Internet Group Management Protocol with the ability to limit bandwidth-intensive multicast traffic
• IGMP Querier support to forward multicast traffic
• 802.1d Spanning Tree support
• Fast convergence 802.1w support
• Native IPv6 Internet Protocol support with option to deliver IPv6 multicast packets only to the
required receivers
• Previous version support for IPv4 routing with up to 512 static routes and up to 128 IP interfaces
• Built-in browser-based switch configuration utility
GBS RackMount and DIN Rail models are available with PoE functionality, enabled by default on
ports 1- 8 (PoE+ ports with 124W power budget and 10/100/1000 max.) Ports 9 and 10 does not
support PoE functionality. PoE technology enables Ethernet network cables to function as power
cords. In a PoE enabled network, electrical current flows over CAT5 or higher network data cable
together with normal Ethernet data traffic. No extra AC power cord is needed at the product location,
minimizing the amount of cables needed and/or the inconvenience of installing extra outlets
