Introduction

The Omnia SW-8 is a high-end 8-port gigabit Ethernet Network Switch that improves the network performance by reducing signal noise. Errors in the network cause data packets to be resent and degrade network performance. By reducing circuit and power supply noise, customized TCXO clock, Omnia SW-8 delivers accurate signal and improves music streaming sound quality.
Omnia SW-8 is a joint developed product of NuPrime and Thunder Data Co. Ltd., maker of Bonn N8. The core design is licensed from Thunder Data’s Bonn N8, Omnia SW-8 further enhanced the mechanical structure with our sophisticated aluminum chassis. The joint development outcome brings Hi-Fi music streaming to next level.

Features

  •  Eight AUDIO GRADE 100 / 1000 Base-T Gigabit Ethernet Ports
  •  Superior main clock accuracy
  •  Customized Silent Angel Noise Absorber (SANA)
  •  Two noise isolators for the main power circuit
  •  Two noise isolators for clock generator circuit
  •  Medical Grade power adaptor

Precise Control of Clock Signal

Temperature Compensation crystal Oscillator
The heart of Omnia SW-8 is a customized TCXO with extreme accuracy of 0.1ppm, much higher than a standard TCXO. The result is a more accurate network signal and stable music data transmission.

Main Circuit Board

  •  Two electrical noise isolation circuits, with a noise rejection rate 17dB, for the power circuit.
  •  Two electrical noise isolation circuits, with a noise rejection rate 20dB, for the clock generation circuit.
  •  This noise isolation circuit ensures Omnia SW-8 generates stable network signals.

High Permeability EMI Absorber
The Omnia SW-8 utilizes EMI absorber at the inner side of the bottom case to further reduce circuit noise.

Result in Jitter Improvement
The quality of network signal from Omnia SW-8 is 90% better than that of a general switch in jitter measurements.

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY BY COUNTRY, STATE OR PROVINCE. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COUNTRY IN WHICH THE PRODUCT PURCHASE TOOK PLACE.

NuPrime may request that you replace defective parts with user-installable new or refurbished parts that NuPrime provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product/part assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes your property and the replaced item becomes NuPrime’s property. When a refund is given, your product becomes NuPrime’s property.
