Pro-Switching System, SM260 Series, A/B Switching Cards

The SM260 Series A/B switching cards provide reliable switching between two RS232/RS530 or CAT6 connections. These versatile cards are ideal for networks and systems that require high reliability and flexibility.

Features and Benefits:

RS232 and RS530 A/B Switching Cards: - Occupy three slots in the chassis.
- LEDs for monitoring signal statuses such as TxD, RxD, RTS, DCD at Ports A and B.
- 8-position DIP switch for setting the card address.
- Locking feature retains the current switching position in case of power failure.
- Supports passthrough of all RS232 or RS530 signals.

CAT6 A/B Switching Card:
- Occupies one slot in the chassis.
- Supports network applications up to 10 GbE for high speed and performance.
- Locking feature retains the current switching position in case of power failure.
- Supports 8-pin RJ45 for flexible Ethernet applications.
- 8-position DIP switch for setting the card address.

Versatile Applications:

The A/B switching cards are available for RS-232, RS-530, and CAT6 connections, enabling a combination of new and legacy technology within the same system. You can add high-speed CAT6 10 GbE cards for modern networking while keeping RS-232 cards to support traditional applications.

Secure Fallback Switching:

All A/B switching cards use either proprietary locking or micro-mirror relay switching technology, ensuring continuous data flow even during power interruptions. As Layer-1 switches, these cards operate independently of data rates, protocols, formats, or signal levels.

Manual Switching and Key Lock:

Each chassis is equipped with a key switch that allows manual switching to be activated or deactivated via front-panel switches.
