Physical dimensions/weight
The Media Links MDX48x6C is a high performance non-blocking multicast switch designed specifically for aggregating IP Media streams and operating in conjunction with Media Links’ MD8000 and MDP Series product portfolios. Contained in a compact 1RU form factor with NEBS certification, the MDX48x6C provides line rate L2 and L3 switching, supporting up to 48 x 10/25GbE and 6 x 40/100GbE connections.
Handling both compressed and uncompressed video/audio streams as well as bidirectional TCP-over-IP data traffic, the MDX48x6C is designed with a non blocking architecture for multicast streams, and for no packet loss at full bandwidth via selection of various configurations. The switch also incorporates several safeguards such as Loop/Flood Protection, Over Subscription, and Per Flow Bandwidth Management to maximize performance while preventing/minimizing the propensity of service interruptions.
Low power consumption separates this device from similar competitive offerings. The hardware provides High Availability features including redundant, hot swappable AC, -48VDC or 12VDC power inputs, redundant fan modules and configurable airflows. The MDX48x6C is loaded with the Open Network Install Environment (ONIE) which supports the installation of compatible Network Operating System software for SDN/NFV capability.
