Adder AVM-C12-US 12-Port Matrix Switcher / 10 CATx Ports / 2 SFP / 1GbE / PoE 125W

Description

The AVM-C12 is a preconfigured 12-port matrix network switch designed to support ADDERView Matrix KVM deployments. It provides ten CATx ports and two SFP ports to connect computer access modules and fiber transceivers – enabling long-distance extension. This unit is built for easy, reliable operation and minimal maintenance.

Key features include out-of-the-box IGMP v2 support and snooping plus jumbo frame capability up to 9216 bytes – improving multicast handling and large-packet throughput. The switch supports 1GbE bandwidth on each link and PoE (802.3.AF) on eight ports with a total PoE budget of 125W – delivering power for ZeroU USB powered modules. Switching actions in ADDERView Matrix are fast, under one second, for responsive user experience.

Technical performance focuses on pixel-accurate video delivery using spatially lossless encoding with 1:1 pixel mapping to preserve color fidelity and eliminate artifacts. The platform supports unlimited logical extension distances when paired with fiber via the SFP ports and can extend beyond 100 meters using appropriate optics. The switch is suitable for sustained operation with a maximum power draw of 164 Watts and typical consumption of 18 Watts.

Connectivity is comprehensive with 10 x 8p8c (RJ45) CATx links and 2 x SFP fiber slots – suitable for copper and fiber topologies. Network support includes 1GbE links with backward 10/100 compatibility and multicast optimizations. Control and switching can be performed via on-screen display or keyboard hotkeys as part of the ADDERView Matrix user station interface.

Common applications include command centers, control rooms, and operator consoles where fast, reliable KVM switching and pixel-perfect video are required. The compact 1U rack form factor and ZeroU USB-compatible modules allow dense deployments without sacrificing rack space. The robust metal chassis and supplied rack-mount brackets support standard and recessed installations.

Installation is straightforward thanks to preconfiguration and plug-and-play behavior for most ADDERView Matrix setups – reducing commissioning time and support requirements. The unit ships with mounting brackets and footpads to support rack or tabletop use and is designed for continuous operation in professional AV environments. Overall, the AVM-C12 combines simple deployment with KVM-grade features for dependable AV/IT integration.
