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-L provides the reliability, availability, and fault tolerance required in today’s fast-paced workplace. The MTX-L’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.
Key features
• WAN and Analog Line Switching in one chassis • Support of High Speed Interfaces • Integral SNMP proxy agent that operates under HP OpenView™ (UNIX or Windows), Netview™ 6000 or Sun NetManager™ • Hardware Setup and Control fully managed through CorScan® • Intelligent port card design: one card many interfaces and functions • Intermix interfaces, DCE/DTE types, and speeds in the same chassis • Complete Hardware Redundancy. Fault tolerant architecture with automatically switched redundant logic, power supplies, and dual power feeds • Extensive background diagnostics proactively monitor and verify the integrity of all data paths through the switch engine • Built-in Non-Volatile RAM retains connection table in the event of a power failure • Small footprint, high density design • Modular design and expansion to 1024 ports
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
