for practical gig-specific wiring.  

 

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 connectors.  Up to 10 tour-grade EtherCON 
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 Switching 
Capacity of 20.0 Gigabits per Second.  ProPlex GBS supports: 
 

 

4,096 simultaneous VLANs, port-based and 802.1Q tag-based VLANs and MAC-based VLAN 

 

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 

 

Note:  For Managed Mode access, contact TMB Tech Support
