IPS-16

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.

These versatile switches are designed to manually or automatically switch an extensive range of electrical and optical interfaces for datacom, telecom and LAN topologies. Applications for the IPS include: Out-of-Service Testing and Monitoring, SCADA Backup, Ethernet Switch/Hub Redundancy, Fallback Switching, FEP/Router Sparing and Anti-Hacking Switching.

  • Critical Router Backup

    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.
