QuickSwitch® Model 6281 Fiber Optic Dual Channel ST Simplex A/B/C/D Switch with Password Protected Ethernet Remote Control via Telnet Commands
Overview
The QuickSwitch® 6281 Dual Channel Fiber Optic ST Simplex A/B/C/D Switch with Telnet allows the user the capability of sharing a single port interface device connected to the "COMMON" port among four other devices connected to the "A", "B", "C", and "D" ports, with each of its two channels. Remote Control access can be accomplished using an Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection and Telnet commands. The QuickSwitch® 6281 is enclosed in a 1U, full rack size, all metal black chassis designed to fit in a standard 19" rack. The enclosure is specially designed to resist shock and vibration.
-
Ideal for all optical signal switching and routing applications.
-
DUAL CHANNEL: Instantly switch between four independent fiber networks from each channel, eliminating the need to unplug cables while simplifying testing, monitoring, and network management.
-
Simultaneous Control of both Channels via Pushbutton or Ethernet Remote.
FEATURES OF THE MODEL 6281 ST SIMPLEX PASSWORD PROTECTED SCRIPT:
- Each channel allows access to any one of four separate ST fiber optic networks from one COMMON fiber optic network.
- The switch ports are transparent to all data.
- All fiber signals are switched via break-before-make MEMS-based mirror/prism switch technology and support Gigabit data rates.
- Front panel pushbutton control.
- Simultaneous control of both channels.
- Switch maintains position on power loss and continues to pass data.
- Control of the switch position from a 10/100Base-T LAN Ethernet environment.
- IP Addressable.
- Remote Control Telnet command interface that allows the user to control switch position, lockout front panel operations, obtain switch status, as well as query firmware version number, query serial number, and enable/disable autosend of switch positions.
- Remote control of the switch is password protected, where the password protection can be disabled.
- Front-panel LED's display switch position and power status.
- All A,B,C,D, and COM ports are ST Simplex, Single mode, 9/125 micron, and support a wavelength of the 1270-1625nm.
- EMI power inlet filter reduces the effect of power supply noise.
- Slide rails can be mounted to side panels in place of rackmount brackets.
- Custom length rigorously tested and certified, ST fiber optic cables available for your installation.
