IPS-16/32

These high bit-rate, high-bandwidth switches in a compact package are the mainstay of the product family. Latching relays ensure connections are not lost during power failure.Rear-mounting interface modules allow for a wide range of interfaces – eliminating the need for adapters. Perfect for multi-interface environments, IPS units accommodate fiber, datacom, T1/E1, Analog/VF, balance electrical, coaxial electrical and optical signal types – all in the same 4U (7”H) chassis.

IPS RC (Redundant Controller)

The IPS RC has the same functionality of the IPS 16/32 with the addition of dual controller cards. The shared backplane bus connection provides an internal path that ensures each controller has the latest switch status and configuration information. The primary advantage of having dual controllers is that either controller card can assume control. This feature plus the redundant power supplies provide maximum uptime for the system and the shortest repair time possible.

RPS-24 (Router Protection)

The RPS-24 is an intelligent protection switch targeted at backing up routers 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. These reliable switches use proven latching relay technology to ensure that connectivity is maintained even in the event of a complete power failure. The RPS-24 supports up to GigE Ethernet and is designed to automatically detect Ethernet link status.

FBS 16/32 (Fallback Switch)

For the budget-minded, the FBS 16/32 switches offer most of the functionality of the IPS 16/32 switches, however the FBS 16/32 is copper based only.
