Matrix Switching Overview

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.

The MTX's matrix design enables it to switch virtually all of the available interfaces required for today's environment. These interfaces range from low speed VF to high speed digital and video applications. The MTX Series of Switches are available in a range of models which all share the same interfaces, speeds and control, but allow increasing capacities of circuits to cater from small shipboard or field applications, to large comcen environments.
