Lab X Technologies Unveils 1Gig AVB Ethernet Switch, Titanium 411 at ISE

Lab X Technologies is introducing the Titanium 411 1GB AVB Ethernet Switch at ISE in Amsterdam this week, Supporting IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging standards, the Titanium 411 is specifically designed for the demanding needs of AV-networking applications.

Coupling Lab X's AVB standards experience with ruggedized connectors, industry-standard SFP-supporting long haul fiber, additional copper connections, and flexible mounting options, Titanium 411 is capable of handling hundreds of AV media streams per AVB port.

Lab X's Titanium 411 features four rear-mount 1GB RJ45 copper interfaces using locking EtherCon connectors, along with an SFP slot to accommodate standard fiber modules or additional copper interfaces, and network activity LED lights on the front and back of the unit. The flexibility of Titanium 411 is broadcast through a configurable 1GB locking copper interface, which can either be mounted on a rear or front panel for easy access. The unit's ruggedized internal power supply is connected with a locking PowerCon connector.

"Lab X has seen a vast number of unique applications, where neither traditional high-port count IT nor consumer-grade low-port switches met demanding industry needs," says Lee Minich, president, Lab X. "Titanium 411 is the first Ethernet switch supporting IEEE 802.1 Audio Video Bridging standards, designed specifically for the unique, rugged requirements of AV installations."

Titanium 411 applications include 'flying' mount deployments to networked line arrays and speaker clusters, fiber runs to remote networked equipment in space-constrained areas, and on-stage and front-of-house networking needs.
