Patchpanels, A/B Switches

FBS-32-front

For the budget-minded,  the FBS 16/32 switches offer most of the functionality of the IPS 16/32 switches,  however it is copper based only.  These versatile switches are designed to locally or remotely switch an extensive range of electrical interfaces for datacom, telecom, and LAN topologies.

FBS 16/32 Application

Fallback switches such as the FBS 16/32 are essential for networks requiring high availability.   When the fallback switch detects a failure, such as a primary line going down, it can automatically switch over to a backup or secondary line or sound an alarm to notify staff.

FBS 16/32 Key Features

  • Rear mounting of up to 16 interface cards:
  • Signal Types (RS-232/V.24, EIA-530, V.35, RS-449, X.21, DS1/E1/TI PRI or BRI, 10/100BaseT Ethernet, 2/4/6-wire analog
  • Multiple Control Mechanisms (VT-100 terminal, CorScan® control, TCP/IP Ethernet, Telnet, Front panel toggle switch, Contact closure)
  • Switching via magnetic latching relays
  • MTBF greater than 10 million switching actions
  • Dual AC power supply
