Rose Electronics Orion XC

Orion XC is a fixed port version of the Orion X-series switches. This reduces the cost and makes the unit more compact. It also is a three-component system consisting of: transmitters at the video or computer source, a central switch, and receivers at the user station.

The Orion XC switch is available as a range of 1U and 2U chassis with a fixed port configuration. It also comes as 8-port cards which insert into an Orion Xtender 6-bay or 21-bay chassis.

The available link interface formats are CATx, singlemode fiber with 1G (1.25Gbps) or 2.5G (3.125Gbps) high speed SFPs, or Universal ports which can support either SDI or USB 3.0.

There are various arrangements of interface ports with all CATx, all Fiber, all Universal, or mixed versions in the 64-port and 80-port switches.

Each port of the switch is automatically configured to be an input or an output port depending on whether a transmitter or receiver unit is connected to it. This simplifies your system planning because you do not have to decide in advance, how many input or output ports – only the total number of ports.
