Allen & Heath AE11078 SFP Module LC Multimode Fibre 125Mbps SuperMADI

Allen & Heath AE11078 SFP Transceiver Module

The Allen & Heath AE11078 is a professional SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver module designed specifically for use with the M-DL-SMADI SuperMADI card within Allen & Heath dLive systems. It provides optical audio networking capability using multimode fibre transmission, enabling reliable high-channel-count digital audio transport over long distances.

Operating at a transmission speed of 125Mbps, the module utilizes LC fibre connectors to deliver stable and low-interference optical MADI links. It fits into one of the four SFP slots available on the SuperMADI card, allowing flexible configuration depending on system requirements. The module supports integration with third-party MADI-compatible devices, making it suitable for complex broadcast and live sound environments.

The AE11078 is designed for professional applications such as broadcast production, outside broadcast (OB) vans, recording systems, and large-scale live events where long-distance, high-channel-count audio distribution is required. It supports the AES10 MADI standard and is compatible with both Smux and HighSpeed 96kHz operating modes, depending on system configuration.

When paired with the M-DL-SMADI interface card, it enables seamless optical expansion alongside coaxial BNC connections, offering flexible redundancy and routing options. This makes it an essential component for engineers who require reliable fibre-based audio networking within modular and scalable digital mixing systems. Its compact SFP form factor ensures easy installation and hot-pluggable integration into existing SuperMADI infrastructures.
