Pro-Switching Ganged Chassis – 2U 18 Ports
The Pro-Switching Ganged Chassis provides flexible and reliable control solutions for managing critical networks and systems. This intelligent switching system allows control of individual cards, entire gang switches, or a daisy-chained setup via RS232 or Ethernet connections.
Key Features:
Reliable Network Control:
- Compact 2U switching system ideal for critical networks.
- Remote monitoring and control of network access.
Flexible Switching:
- Switch all ports individually or in groups.
- Automate connection backup based on port failure or scheduled times.
- Supports up to 255 switch cards in a daisy-chained rack system.
User-Friendly Management:
- Controller cards available for local or remote control via RS-232 or Ethernet.
- In a multi-chassis setup, the controller card in the first chassis manages the entire system.
Broad Compatibility:
- Supports A/B switching cards for RS-232 and CAT6 connections, suitable for both new and legacy applications.
- Allows for fast CAT6 10-GbE networking while maintaining legacy RS-232 connections.
Secure Fallback Switching:
All cards use proprietary micro-mirror relay technology to ensure continued data passage in the event of power loss. Operating at Layer 1, the system is independent of data rates, protocols, and signal levels.
Simple Power Management:
Order external power supplies and a power adapter card to power the chassis. For increased redundancy, a second power supply card is recommended.
