  • Page 10: Device Description

    The FESTIVAL BOX is the perfect backbone transport system for a wide range of professional audio or data signals including proprietary fiber protocols (i.e. Optocore), Ethernet-based Cat5 or fiber protocols (such as Dante, AVB or ArtNET) or other proprietary or standard protocols. The huge selection of professional signals supported in a single FESTIVAL BOX makes it a powerful solution for any application, which requires multi-cable run..

    Device Details SFP Ports FESTIVAL BOX is equipped with six (Petit) or twelve (Grand) SFP ports that can be populated with different SFP modules that run up to 2Gbit of data. Data from external SFP port is converted to the internal CWDM SFP fiber transceivers.. The internal SFP transceivers connect to the internal CWDM passive multiplexing module, which allows multiple protocols to be combined into a single fiber.
