Allen & Heath AE11078 SFP Fiber Module for SuperMADI Card
The Allen & Heath AE11078 is an SFP fiber optic transceiver module for the M-DL-SMADI superMADI card, enabling multimode or single-mode optical MADI audio networking at up to 128 I/O channels at 96kHz within dLive mixing systems.Overview
The Allen & Heath AE11078 is an SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber optic transceiver module for use with the M-DL-SMADI (superMADI) audio networking card. The superMADI card features four SFP slots alongside eight BNC coaxial connectors, providing both optical and coaxial MADI connectivity with up to 128 I/O channels at 96kHz per link pair. Selecting the appropriate SFP module — multimode or single-mode LC — allows system designers to specify the correct fiber type and distance for their installation. Sample rate and redundancy are switchable per link pair, supporting both Smux and HighSpeed 96kHz modes.

Frequently Asked Questions
When would we need optical fiber connections for audio networking in our dLive system?
Optical fiber is ideal for large venues, broadcast facilities, and systems spanning hundreds of meters where electrical noise immunity and distance are critical for stable MADI audio distribution.
What is the maximum channel count and frequency this fiber module supports?
The AE11078 enables up to 128 I/O channels of MADI audio at 96 kHz over multimode or single-mode optical fiber.
How does optical MADI differ from copper-based audio networking?
Fiber optic connections eliminate electrical interference and hum, are immune to lightning, and support longer distances without signal degradation—crucial for broadcast vans, outdoor events, and electrically noisy environments.
Is this module suitable for permanent installation in broadcast or theater facilities?
Yes, fiber optic MADI is standard in professional broadcast and theater systems where long cable runs and electrical isolation are necessary.
Does the AE11078 support both multimode and single-mode fiber?
Yes, the AE11078 SFP transceiver module works with both multimode and single-mode optical fiber, offering flexibility for different installation distances and existing infrastructure.
What is the typical reach or distance for optical MADI connections?
Contact Procure.ae to confirm the maximum distance specifications for both multimode and single-mode fiber configurations.
