The MOTU AVB Switch Six-Port AVB Ethernet Switch is designed to connect up to six AVB Audio, Video, or Switch interfaces into a network using the IEEE 802.1 AVB standard and Cat 5e or Cat 6 Ethernet cables up to 100 meters long. This networking standard provides real-time, low-latency, and fully synchronized streaming of audio and video over Ethernet.

The back panel of the switch features six 1Gb AVB Ethernet ports. Two front panel rows of LEDs provide visual feedback of the network connections and status of each port.

For convenience and reliability, the system features automatic device discovery so no IT experience is required and implements AVB's Stream Reservation protocol to provide guaranteed Quality of Service and ensure uninterrupted connections. The system also provides a networkwide time bass for synchronizing all connected devices within one sample phase lock and with timing accuracy within the nanosecond.
