IPS-16/32
Intelligent Protection Switches (A/B switch)

A/B Switches

Cornet Technology’s intelligent protection switches are highly reliable, high bit-rate, high-bandwidth, electromechanical, 16 or 32 channel digital, analog, and optical fiber A/B and A/B/C switches.  Designed for "fail soft" operation, these switches provide automatic path switching for T1/E1, EIA-530, EIA-232 and V.35, handles a mix of interfaces (multi-mode and single mode fiber, 10/100/100-BaseT, traditional WAN, T1/E1, and VF) in a single chassis, offers dual-redundant power supplies, and features IP control (SNMP and Telnet). There is always connectivity through the switches, even when power is removed ensuring that the switch does not become a single point of failure. Automatic path switching selects between two redundant paths. The working path is monitored while the IPS system verifies the backup path. Any failure of the work path forces a switch to the backup path in less than one second. Our intelligent protection switches are ideal for out-of-service testing and monitoring, SCADA backup, Ethernet switch/hub redundancy, fallback switching, and FEP/router sparing.

Our design team will work with you to create a unique fallback switch strategy ideal for your application. We offer both standard and OEM custom design solutions.
