New Switch Protects Network Systems

  • 10/01/00
To protect against faulty fibers or network equipment, Pysical Optics Corp.’s new Fiber Optic Route Protection Switch provides automated switching between primary and secondary fibers to support a mission critical network system. It is an ideal solution for existing fiber optic network system equipment that lacks fault-tolerant design.

The system supports Ethernet/Fast Ethernet, OC-3, FDDI and many other data interfaces. It provides options for unidirectional or bi-directional protection, along with various recover configurations. This makes the system a good choice for survivable fiber optic network system and catastrophic network management applications. Physical Optics Corp., St. Torrance, CA, (800) 214-0222, www.poc.com.
