To use the network or MADI/AIOX ports, you must fit the correct SFP transceivers. These must be Lawo-certified and ordered separately from the frame.

Available Interfaces (via SFP)

You will need:

  • 1 x Network Interface SFP - for each CONTROL port (dwc0 & dwc1).
  • 1 x Network Interface SFP - for each RAVENNA/AES67 port (ra0 to ra3).
  • 1 x MADI Interface SFP - for each MADI/AIOX port at the front (1 to 4) and rear (if MADI I/O cards are fitted).

The image below shows an example with all of the front SFP cages populated.

Ordering Information

All SFP modules must be ordered separately from the frame (using their type number). The tables below describe all available options.

(E) WARNING

  • If a device has SFP slots, the UL approval of the device is valid only if the used SFP modules are UL-certified and comply with the category NWGQ, NWGQ2, AZOT, or AZOT2. The classification of SFPs must be FDA 21 CFR 1010 or CFR 1040 for products with laser class 1 (I) or IEC 60825-2 for products with LED class 1.
  • For all other approvals of the device (e.g. CE), the SFP used must have the classification according to IEC 60825-2 for LED class 1 products.

(F) ATTENTION

  • Si un appareil possède des emplacements SFP, l'homologation UL de l'appareil n'est valable que si les modules SFP utilisés sont certifiés UL et conformes à la catégorie NWGQ, NWGQ2, AZOT ou AZOT2. La classification des SFP doit être conforme à la norme FDA 21 CFR 1010 ou CFR 1040 pour les produits avec laser de classe 1 (I) ou IEC 60825-2 pour les produits avec LED de classe 1.
  • Pour toutes les autres homologations de l'appareil (par exemple CE), le SFP utilisé doit avoir la classification selon IEC 60825-2 pour les produits à LED de classe 1.
