Cornet Switching Systems Ltd are switching and cross-connect solution providers for electronic and automated network control in high density datacentre environments.
• Supplier of innovative cross-point switching solutions
• Manufacturer of automated switching systems for enhanced network control
• Responsive engineering and design services for specific customer requirements
Cornet Switching Systems Ltd was established to market the Cornet Technology Inc. products in the UK and Ireland. We have joined forces with GGR Communications Ltd, a LAN/WAN solution supplier, to be in a position to provide effective turn-key technical control and networking solutions to commercial and military applications.
The Cornet Switching Systems Ltd product portfolio covers a range of vendor independent products which include Manual Patching, PC Controlled Patching, and Matrix Switching. The associated services offered include consultancy services, installation, training and a range of maintenance options.
The technical control products are designed to provide engineering access and reconfiguration in Wide Area Networks. They allow easy and error free access to data communications channels without the need for disconnecting and reconnecting cables.
Typical users of Matrix Switching are datacentres with multiple communication circuits that require automated electronic cross connect and interconnect. This allows rapid datacentre reconfiguration to meet changing and tactical environments. This is usually controlled with computer controlled network management systems and Graphical User Interfaces. In addition, systems may be controlled by third party overarching control systems via SNMP.

Cornet provides a complete range of video convergence products meeting the needs of miltary, transportation and commercial customers. Products include a range of encoders and decoders as well as VDOLink management softare and Analogue Video Matrix Switches.
Cornet's MTX Matrix Switches have always provided the widest range of physical layer switch capabilities supported by the most advanced standards-based switching technology. They support voice, video and digital data at speeds up to OC12.
The Cornet Switching Systems Intelligent Protection Switches (IPS) are high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 16 channel digital, analog and optical fibre A/B and A/B/C switches.
When continuous network equipment uptime is an absolute necessity, Router Protection Switch (RPS-24) provides that security. The RPS-24 is an intelligent protection switch targeted at providing router backup in dark or dim sites where continuous up-time is critical and rack space is at a premium. The 24-port design closely matches the number of inputs on a standard router.
The IMS 16 and 32 are relay-based, microprocessor-controlled devices that provide monitor and test access to a wide variety of interfaces, including DS-1, EIA-232, V.35, EIA-530, telephone, etc. in a single chassis.
For efficient cable reduction and error-free operation consider the Cornet Switching Systems Port Concentrator Unit (PCU) that functions as either a matrix interface or a cable concentrator.
The MTX Series of Matrix Switches brings the latest developments in switching technology to the Cornet Switching Systems line of switching products. Based on a single-stage, non-blocked any to any, crosspoint architecture, the MTX provides the reliability, availability, and fault tolerance required in today's fast-paced workplace. Available in a range of port capacities.
In the MTX-256, Cornet Switching Systems combines unparalleled interface and speed support with a space efficiency no other matrix switch system can rival. With its compact switching engine, the MTX-256 requires only one standard equipment rack to support 2048 ports. A fully expanded system occupies half the engine space of a traditional matrix switch.
A/B Switching is normally combined with the traditional manual patching system, providing a facility to enable sparing of DTE or DCE equipment through the use of a toggle switch and electromechanical latching copper relays.
