3.6. SFP / SFP+ Slot Connection
INFO:
The SFP / SFP+ slots support the Plug and Play connection
which means UBEX devices do not need to be powered off before
inserting or removing SFP / SFP+ modules or DAC cables.
3.6.1. Installation of SFP / SFP+ Modules
Endpoint Devices
UBEX endpoint devices use SFP+ modules
for the fiber optical connections. The
optical modules can be changed based
on the recent application of the extender:
it can be singlemode or multimode, or
BiDi modules, up to 10 GbE signal transmission.
INFO:
It is recommended to install 2x 10 GbE SFP+ modules
per endpoint in the case of HDMI 2.0 (4K@60 Hz 4:4:4) signal
transmission.
Matrix Management Unit
The UBEX-MMU-X200 Matrix Management Unit has one SFP module
slot for the fiber optical connection via the network switch.
ATTENTION!
The SFP port slot can handle SFP module up to 1 GbE
support.
Inserting and Cabling of SFP / SFP+ Modules
Step 1.
Put up on the handle bar.
Step 2.
Connect the module to the to one of the SFP / SFP+ port slot.
Step 3.
Connect the LC connectors to the SFP / SFP+ modules.
INFO:
The SFP / SFP+ modules have a side that clips to the
connector on the port of the switch, and is designed to prevent the
module from being inserted the wrong way into the port. Do NOT
force module into the port.
Removing SFP / SFP+ Modules
Step 1.
Disconnect the LC connectors from the SFP / SFP+ module.
Step 2.
Pull down on the handle bar.
Step 3.
Gently slide out the SFP / SFP+ module from the slot.
3.7. Ethernet Switch - Detailed Requirements
In the virtual matrix architecture a third party switch is used to transfer
IP packets. In connection with this switch, the following criteria must
be met:
▪
10 Gbps non-blocking switch
(capable of full bandwidth
transmission between all ports)
▪
Supports IEEE Std. 802.3ad-2000
Link Aggregation Control
Protocol, with
Link Aggregation Groups for each endpoint
.
▪
Supports Internet Group Management Protocol version 2 (RFC
2236) snooping.
▪
IPv4 (or Layer 2) Multicast Forwarding based on
IGMP v2
snooping
, with at least
16 addresses available for each endpoint
, e.g.
4096 IPv4 multicast addresses for 256 endpoints.
▪
Supports IEEE Std. 802.1Q VLAN tagging:
1 VLAN reserved for
UBEX control and media transmission
, other(s) available for user
traffic.
Optional Requirements:
▪
Supports IEEE Std. 802.1Q (formerly 802.1p) priority code
point (
PCP
), and implements priority based queuing for at
least 1 prioritized traffic class. This is required to guarantee
uninterrupted media transmission regardless of the user traffic.
▪
Supports Link Layer Discovery Protocol (
LLDP
), in order to
discover network topology.
▪
Supports IEEE Std. 802.1s (merged into IEEE Std. 802.1Q-2005)
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (
MSTP
), in order to detect
switching loops in VLAN’s.

3.6.2. Installation of DAC Cables
Endpoint Devices
UBEX endpoints can be connected
via DAC (Direct Attach Copper)
cables to the network switch. The
cable type must support 10 GbE
signal transmission.
INFO:
It is recommended to install 2x 10 GbE DAC cables in the
case of HDMI 2.0 (4K@60 Hz 4:4:4) signal transmission.
Matrix Management Unit
The UBEX-MMU-X200 Matrix Management Unit can be connected via
DAC (Direct Attach Copper) cables to the network switch.
ATTENTION!
The SFP port slot can handle SFP module up to 1 GbE
support.
Inserting the DAC Cables
Step 1.
Push the plug of the DAC cable to one of the SFP / SFP+ port
slot of the transmitter to stop.
Step 2.
Push the other plug of the DAC cable to one of the SFP / SFP+
port slot of the receiver to stop.
Removing the DAC Cables
Pull the handle bar of the plug and gently slide out the cable from the
slot.
INFO:
