A/B Switches Overview (Protection 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.

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.

  • 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.
