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 ports in the Orion XC switch chassis are fixed and can be either all CATx ports or mixed fiber and CATx. The Orion XC is available in six models:
- 16 CATx ports in 1U
- 32 CATx ports in 1U
- 48 CATx ports in 1U
- 64 CATx ports in 2U
- 80 CATx ports in 2U
- 48 CATx ports and 16 fiber ports in 2U
- 48 CATx ports and 32 fiber ports in 2U
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.
Distances of the transmitters or receivers can be:
- Up to 33,000 feet (10Km) using single-mode fiber cable
- Up to 1,300 feet (400m) using multi-mode OM3 fiber cable
- Up to 460 feet (140m) using CATx cable
The product supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz and all DVI single-link resolutions. Video sources running at the same resolution can be switched instantly with no delay or blanking which makes it ideal for command centers, broadcast applications, financial institutions, and many more. The receivers include an intuitive OSD for easy use and configuration at each user station through the attached USB keyboard and mouse.
Other capabilities optionally available are:
- VGA input
- Dual-link DVI input/output
