This Carrier Class 19" Rack-Mountableplatform is a modular multiple-channel10/100/155/1000Mbps) Media AccessConcentrator providing up to 48 conversionchannels, housed in a 3U chassis, yielding anunprecedented density factor of 16/U. It featuresaltogether 16 slots: 3 for power supplies, 1 forthe management module and 12 for conversionmodules (up to 4 user interfaces each). Allmodules, controls, connectors and indicators arelocated on the front panel for easy and spacesaving installation (including in dual back-tobackbuilt cabinets). Its light weight allowsinstallation by a single technician. Thecomes equipped with dual load sharing powersupplies while an additional slot allows theinsertion of a third redundant power supply,increasing MTBF. All modules are hot swappable. Even the coolingfans- integrated in the modular PS rather thanfixed in the chassis, are hot swappable. All theseresult in record high MTBF and virtually zeroMTTR. Most of the modules are equipped withFibroLAN's MA technology, which allows lowcost management of the remote link partners.SNMP management is provided either by a singlemanagement module or by a combination ofMaster and Slave modules which allow thestacking of up to 8 devices, providing fullmanagement of hundreds of users by a singleSNMP agent. The optional cable organizerfacilitates neat and safe deployment even in thedensest configurations. All these features make theindustry's most efficient Access Concentratorfor FTTx and large enterprise networks. |
