GLX4000 4.25 Gb/s 288/144-port Switch
Physical Layer Switch Overview
The GLX4000 utilizes a chassis and blade architecture that provides an
easy and cost-effective way to expand the crossbar switch as needs grow.
The system chassis can accommodate up to three (3) hot-swappable interface
blades, each with forty eight (48) SFP or Firewire ports. As the blades
all connect to a common backplane, the cross connect functionality extends
across any combination of blades and ports.
GLX4000 Features
Any-port to any-port programmable connectivity. Allows the
network to be configured and reconfigured at will, without rewiring
Wide range of applications: Test and simulation labs, video distribution
via physical layer multicasting, wire-once enterprise connections.
