The advanced design of this system gives you incredible operational flexibility and performance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You can switch one card individually or switch the entire rack through a Controller Card. You can even daisychain multiple chassis to control up to 4080 individual ports. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The chassis includes a backplane for plugging in the cards. Just order the cards you need as well as a Power Supply Module (or for redundancy order two Power Supply Modules).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSwitch securely.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For fail-safe operation the system uses proprietary micro-mirror or latching relay switching technology. That means data can continue to pass through even if the power has been cut off. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The cards perform Layer 1 switching so the system operates independently of data rates protocols formats or signal levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Controller Card.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The key to the system is the Controller Card. One is required for each 18-slot chassis and it takes up two card slots. The Controller Card enables you to individually switch any port from the front panel or gang switch the entire system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor more capabilities choose models with an RS-232 serial controller or an SNMP-based Ethernet controller which also includes GUI Switchcenter software. These intelligent cards enable you to switch from anywhere in the world via an RS-232 or IP connection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Each chassis also has a keyed switch so you can enable\/disable manual switching from the front-panel toggle switches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePick a card any card.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Switching cards are available for RS-232 video fiber and CAT5 and CAT6 connections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eMix it up.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Use the system to support both new and legacy technologies.
