Media Cross Connect™ (MCC) Chassis
MCC solutions are built on a family of 19” rack-mountable chassis designed to be fully non-blocking in all configurations. The MCC chassis family includes three models that have backplane speeds of 4.25 Gbps (4X), 8.5 Gbps (8X), and the NEW 10.7 Gbps (HS). The 4X chassis models accommodate two, four, or eight interface blades. The 8X and HS chassis models accommodate four interface blades. Each chassis is powered by hot-swappable power supplies with optional redundancy. All four-slot and eight-slot chassis are available in DC powered versions as well as the AC models.
The NEW High Speed MCC uses a 10.7 Gbps switching matrix allowing 10Gb signals to be switched over a single path across the backplane increasing the density of 10G ports in the system. With the growth of 10Gb services and associated equipment it has become necessary for test labs and data centers to manage a high number of 10Gb connections. The High Speed MCC doubles the number of 10G ports in a system half the size of existing systems; 144 10G ports in a 5 rack unit footprint.

Features
- Wire-Once Technology - Initial connection of all test sets and test infrastructure to the MCC allows future changes in test topologies or configurations to be performed through software.
- Software Port Mapping - Compatible ports can be mapped using software commands in bi-directional, one-way, multipoint, or Fibre Channel arbitrated loop configurations.
- Wide Protocol Support – T1/E1 to 10 Gbps Ethernet LAN, WAN PHY, and Fibre Channel.
- Wide Media Support – Copper cable, fiber optics, and pluggable SFP, SFP+, and XFP transceivers.
- Increased Lab Productivity – Minimized retests due to fiber contamination or breakage, and increased test accuracy and velocity. Easy to use web-based GUI controls mappings and can store often-used topologies for reuse.
- Decreased Capital Expenditures – Shared expensive test equipment and test beds among users minimizes equipment costs without compromising capabilities.
- Simple Integration into Existing Systems – System management through a robust industry-standard CLI and automated mapping through Tcl API or on-board SNMP agent tools with scripting language support.
- Future-Safe Modular Architecture – Scalable solutions built on modular chassis that support any protocol or media combination through interchangeable and hot-swappable blades.
