DISCONTINUED PRODUCT - See S2560F

System
S2560E

The S2560E switching system is a differential full featured non-blocking full fan-out matrix for routing both digital and analog signals with up to 256x256 I/O's in one unit, or up to 512x512 in multiple units.

Conceived to replace manual patch cord bays and multi-couplers, this unit is designed for switching differential analog signals, and has an option to add differential digital (422) module as well (-D option). Typically, the unit is married with breakout "adapter panels" where user signals are connected. These adapter panels provide a whole extra level of flexibility for system expansion, keeping rack space usage to a minimum, and allows panels to be located separately from the switch. There are panels with Triax, D-Sub and RJ-45 for clock and data type connectivity.

By design, the S2560E can be easily configured to meet many needs, even as your needs change and evolve. The unit can be configured as small as a 32x32 matrix, to as large as a 256x256 matrix within the same box by simply sliding in modules. Either the input or output axis of the matrix can be configured independently in increments of 32 ports. Our technical staff can help configure the exact system for your specific application.

    Detailed Description

    Eliminating manual patch bays and cords, the System S2560E is a high-density switch array specifically designed for routing both differential digital data (422), and differential analog signals. Fully populated, this unit contains 256 input and 256 outputs where a given input can be connected to one, many or all 256 outputs (full fan-out non-blocking). Menu settings can configure the unit for dual port switching which might be desired for Clock/ Data routing.

    The 5RU rack mount unit accepts up to eight input cards and eight output cards at the rear with each I/O card having two (2) 50-position Dsub (SCSI-II) connectors. There are 16-channels per connector. These cards install at the rear of the unit with the connectors rear facing. All cards are secured to the unit with stainless hardware for rugged and trouble free operation. For less than fully populated configurations, filler plates complete the user configuration to keep the fan assisted cooling system working at top efficiency. To complete the Tri-Stage configuration, eight mid-stage cards are installed behind the hinged front panel.

    The front panel includes a VF display and keypad with menu driven operation. The keypad may be pass-code locked to prevent unintentional operation. The unit can be configured with one or two (full redundant) hot-swappable plug-in control CPUs. Each CPU includes an LXI 10/100 Ethernet port (with web browser), a USB 2.0 port, and a muli-serial port (RS-232C, RS-422A & RS-485). Self-monitoring hot-swap plug-in power supplies are standard with an independent and redundant design. The unit has independent dual AC power inputs designed for any international AC power source.
