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 PCU operates as an interface between virtually any user equipment interface (DTE or DCE) and the digital matrix engine. Use the PCU to change system configurations, execute A/B and sparing applications, and to perform modem eliminator and test/access functions.
As a cable concentrator, use the PCU to reduce cable congestion passing up to 16 ports of user data over a single inter-chassis cable to a maximum of 250 feet from the switch engine.
Key features
• Comprehensive interface dupport • Jitter free operation • High data rates up to 2 Mbps • Cable extension up to 500 feet • Mix interface types in chassis • DTE and DCE interface on the same card • Software-based port configuration • Integral Modem Eliminator, BERT Test, and Breakout Box functions • Redundant power supplies • Interface scanning and alarming • Auto learning
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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, 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.
