Attention: open in a new window.

As a growing number of subscribers who want faster services are added to networks, the requirement for new equipment is rapidly growing. Only through technology is it possible to add such services and increase bandwidth. So getting more equipment into the valuable CO space becomes a key benefit of advancements in equipment technology.

The development team that GarrettCom put together designed a hub, dubbed Blade™, that is specifically made for rear- I/O in a cPCI chassis. It provides twelve 10/100Mb Ethernet ports in a single 6U card. In addition, the Blade model DS12 was designed as NEBS™ Level 3 compliant and with EMI Class B for low noise. It has excellent reliability, boasting over a 30-year MTBF. With the plan for minimum cPCI space as a key requirement, the Blade DS12 design fits into a single rear transition module.
