Media Cross Connect™ (MCC) Product Family

Media Cross Connect™ (MCC) Product Family

The Media Cross Connect(MCC) product line includes a family of 2, 4 or 8 slot chassis designed to support any of the MCC interface blades. All systems are fully non-blocking in all configurations and are powered by hot-swappable AC power supplies with a redundant power option. The 4 and 8 slot systems can also support a DC power source.

Management of the MCC is accomplished using a robust industry-standard Command Line Interface (CLI) via a serial or Ethernet port, a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) or SNMP.

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.
  • 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.
  • 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 and XFP transceivers.
  • Simple Integration into Existing Systems - System management through a robust industry-standard CLI or on-board SNMP agent automates mappings with standard scripting languages (TCL/Expect or Perl/Expect) or SNMP tools.
  • Future-Safe Modular Architecture - Scalable solutions built on modular chassis that support any protocol or media combination through interchangeable and hot-swappable blades.
