What is the NovaStar MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S for?
This card is for a modular MX chassis that needs four separate 10G optical distribution legs while retaining a 1G cabinet architecture. The S configuration is about the fiber route, not a change to 5G receiving-card technology.
| Planning point 1 | Four 10G SFP+ optical outputs from one MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot. |
|---|---|
| Planning point 2 | For a 1G COEX architecture with CVT10/CVT10 Pro and 1G receiving cards. |
| Planning point 3 | The catalog S configuration is for single-mode fiber; the shared output-card table documents up to 10 km. |
| Planning point 4 | Four optical legs can serve four remote converter zones, but each still needs its own receiver and cabinet-port map. |
Can MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro accept this 4×10G output card?
Start with the installed MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro and the available OUT slot, then identify a CVT10-family endpoint for each fiber leg. The product cannot be used as a standalone controller or in a non-modular COEX product.
How four single-mode 10G legs reach CVT10 and 1G receiving cards
Each SFP+ fiber link feeds a CVT10 or CVT10 Pro as part of the documented 1G system. Think in four endpoint zones—each with its own fiber, converter, receiver/cabinet chain and load map—rather than four generic optical ports.
- MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot
- MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S
- four 10G single-mode SFP+ fiber links
- CVT10 or CVT10 Pro endpoints
- 1G receiving-card and cabinet data paths
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S single-mode reach: use 10 km as a route check
The shared 10G table lists up to 10 km for single-mode fiber. That maximum belongs beside four individual route checks: supplied optic, installed cable, connector quality, loss budget and the remote converter endpoint.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S 1G load and per-port cabinet mapping
The card can represent forty logical 1G outputs, but the receiver matters. At 60 Hz, 10-bit at 494,791 pixels per port is listed only with A10s Pro or A8s Pro; other 10/12-bit planning uses the lower 329,861-pixel figure in the shared table.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S vs the 1×40G single-mode 5G path
Select this model for four 10G single-mode links feeding a 1G/CVT10 system. Select the 1x40G-S option for one 40G single-mode uplink in a 5G/CVT8-5G system. The common fiber medium does not make the two designs interchangeable.
NovaStar MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S Manual, PDF and VMP Software
Use the model-named download page as the starting point, then verify the shared MX6000 Pro family specification, the manual for the actual MX host and the VMP project version. The output-card PDF is a family reference, not a stand-alone card manual.

MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S buying and installation FAQs
Does the MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S build a 5G COEX system?
No. It is the documented 1G path with CVT10 or CVT10 Pro and 1G receiving cards. Use the 1x40G output-card architecture for the documented 5G/CVT8-5G path.
Are the four 10G ports redundant copies of the same signal?
No. Treat them as four optical distribution legs, each capable of carrying the load of ten 1G Ethernet ports and each requiring an endpoint plan. Redundancy must be designed and configured at the complete system level.
Can all four single-mode legs run 10 km?
Up to the documented 10 km maximum, but each route needs its own optic, cable, connector and loss-budget check. The maximum is not an automatic field guarantee.
Which receiving cards support the higher 10-bit 1G-port calculation?
A10s Pro or A8s Pro only. The shared table lists 494,791 pixels at 10-bit and 60 Hz with those receiving cards; confirm the installed receiver before using that value in the cabinet map.
Can I split one LED screen between this card and a 1x40G card?
No. NovaStar says 1G and 5G Ethernet-port bandwidths cannot load the same screen, even though different card types can be present in the same modular host.
MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S order check
Before ordering, confirm the host chassis and free OUT slot, the four single-mode routes, SFP+ optics, CVT10 endpoints, receiver family, cabinet map and VMP version. Send the route plan with the order so the card is matched to the complete system.
- The selected host and free slot are verified for MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S.
- The complete physical route is documented: MX2000 Pro or MX6000 Pro OUT slot → MX_4 10G Fiber Output Card-S → four 10G single-mode SFP+ fiber links → CVT10 or CVT10 Pro endpoints → 1G receiving-card and cabinet data paths.
- Four optical legs can serve four remote converter zones, but each still needs its own receiver and cabinet-port map.
- The VMP project, host firmware, card firmware, receiving-card firmware and cabinet files are matched before commissioning.
Share your MX host, OUT-slot plan, four fiber distances, CVT10 endpoints and receiving-card model. We can check the single-mode 1G path before you order.
