ADX Active Digital Cross-Connect
ADX200 and ADX201
The ADX Active Digital Cross-Connect provides
an innovative solution for interconnecting
systems in telecommunications and exchange
buildings, reducing space by 50 to 80 percent,
increasing flexibility and bringing down overall
capital (CAPEX) and operational expenditure
(OPEX).
The ADX combines in one package a very
compact SDH add/drop multiplexer (ADM),
up to 64 accessible E1 ports, optional STM-1
aggregation ports, E1 cross-connect and a DDF.
It complies with SDH standards and supports
operations and administration features
required for successful integration into an
existing transport network.
Features
• Non-intrusive automated test access on DDF
• DDF traffic restoration in case of network
failures
• E1 traffic concentration over STM-1. 63 E1
ports can be aggregated on a single fibre
optic or single electrical link.
• Two STM-1 hot pluggable optical or
electronic SFP (small-form-factor pluggable)
interfaces.
Application and Benefits:
• Ideal for limited space applications in
remote sites
- Wireless base station or wireless
concentrator sites
- E1 to the curb or E1 to the building
• Saves installation cost
- Eliminaties extensive E1 copper
cabling between DDF and ADM/DCS,
saves installation time and reduces
cabling errors
- Pre-configured system
- Easy service turn-up
- No need for additional, highly
trained staff
• Increases quality of service (QoS)
- Possibility of monitoring access for all
relevant test parameters
• Offers space and cost saving expansion of
installed SDH systems
- Conventional ADM/DCS over a limited
number of E1/DS1 ports
- The ADX provides additional E1/DS ports
to an ADM/DCS via the STM-1 interface
