The Fiber Driver ? NC316XPR72 from MRV
Communications is a SFP-based, 72 port cross-connect, which allows you to
program physical layer connectivity from any port to any other port. The system
is compatible with all major data, storage, voice, and video protocols from 100
Mbps to 2.7 Gbps, allowing a single cross-connect to be used for a wide variety
of applications. The XPR72 brings all the capabilities of SFPbased optical
interfaces as well, including hot-swap, flexibility, inventory control and
digital diagnostics. A cross-connect is used primarily as an intelligent patch
panel.
Whereas with a typical patch panel, wires must be physically
disconnected, moved, and reconnected to change the network configuration, with
the XPR72, the network administrator can make any desired configuration changes
without touching the physical wires. This is accomplished by providing a fully
programmable path between all the ports on the
cross-connect.
Establishing a data connection with a SFP Media
Cross-Connect chassis is simple and straightforward. Simply insert the SFP
transceivers into the chassis and then via software management set the
port-to-port connections (including port-to-multiport; physical layer
multicasting). Changing port-to-port assignments is easily done at any time
through the management interface, either command-line, Telnet, SNMP or via
MegaVision Web?. |
