Cornet Switching Systems

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
