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.
A/B switching systems can also optionally provide an interface alarm functionality. The A/B switching function can be completely manual on a channel-by-channel basis, or the switches can be controlled remotely. Remote control can be simply gang switching of up to 16 channels at a time, or complete system switching can be controlled via an ASCII terminal or a proprietary management system.

AB Switches/Protection Switches
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.
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 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.
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 offers a range of video encoders and decoders, from software, to rackmounted hardware through to fully ruggedised field units. Our systems support a range of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and H.264 codecs.
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.
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.
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, 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.
