MTX-256

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.

The MTX Series of Matrix Switches brings the latest developments in switching technology to the Cornet line of products.

Based on a single-stage, non-blocked, crosspoint architecture the MTX-256 provides the reliability, space efficiency, and fault tolerance required in today’s fast-paced workplace. The MTX 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.
