However reliable a piece of network equipment is, there is always a chance that something will fail. When continuous network equipment uptime is an absolute necessity, Cornet Switching Systems' Router Protection Switch (RPS-24) provides that extra bit of security.
The RPS-24 is an intelligent protection switch targeted at backing up routers 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.
These reliable switches use proven latching relay technology to ensure that connectivity is maintained even in the event of a complete power failure. The RPS-24 supports up to GigE Ethernet and is designed to automatically detect Ethernet link status.
Key features
• Auto detects link status of 10/100BaseT, switches up to GigE Ethernet • Front A/B connections – rear C connection • Compact chassis design – 1U high x 19” W • Latching relay technology • LEDs on front RJ-45 connectors indicate A/B switching status and Ethernet link pulse • Power failure alarms reported via control system • Rear plate offers two DB-9 connectors – one for power failure alarm and the other for craft port control • Dual redundant external power supply supports two units • Multiple support methods: SNMP, Telnet, Craft port, Web browser with intuitive GUI interface
MTX-1 is a 16-port, and the MTX-2 a 32-port high-speed, non-blocking, digital matrix switch that packs the same functionality of larger MTX series systems into a compact, space-saving chassis.
The Cornet Switching Systems Intelligent Protection Switches (IPS) are high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 32 channel digital, analog and optical fibre A/B and A/B/C switches.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
