The ETX-1002 grooms traffic from up to 24 Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links over redundant 10-Gigabit Ethernet connections at wire-speed. The high capacity nonblocking edge switch provides a central aggregation solution for ETX Carrier Ethernet demarcation devices or third-party NTUs installed at the customer premises.
Deployed in hub-and-spoke or resilient ring topologies, the ETX-1002 is equipped with multi-priority traffic management capabilities on a per-port or per-flow basis. These, together with Ethernet OAM diagnostics, allow carrier-grade service delivery performance and SLA assurance, making it ideal for aggregation of business services and VPNs, tripleplay and broadband aggregation, as well as for data center consolidation.
