The ES3528M-SFP Metro Access Switch is designed for Service Providers, providing secure wirespeed performance to deliver secure triple play services to large numbers of subscribers over long distance fibre connections from mini-GBIC Modules.
The Edge-Core ES3528M-SFP Metro Access Switch is designed primarily for Service Providers who wish to support large numbers of their subscibers within a Metro Ethernet network. The switch is easy to deploy and maintain, yet offers a comprehensive suite of carrier grade management and security functions. The ES3528M-SFP has 24x SFP slots, each of which can support copper RJ-45 or multimode, singlemode, or WDM fibre mini-GBIC MTransceiver Modules. Network link ranges of up to 80 kilometres can be acheived with mini-GBICS over singlemode optical fibre cable. In addition, the switch offers dual 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit RJ-45 and dual combo Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45/SFP port arrays - ideal for Gigabit network uplinks over fibre or copper.
With the high density of SFP slots, the switch is an ideal solution for supporting service subscribers in areas such large office buildings, residential apartment blocks, campus environments and organisations geographically dispersed in metropolitan regions. Scalability is also enhanced with the switch supporting virtual stacking for up to 36 switches able to be centrally managed via a single IP address.
The ES3528M-SFP provides a powerful suite of software and management functions designed to support Service Providers offering secure triple play services to large number od customers. These features ensure robust, carrier grade subscriber, switch, and network security. Software functions include Operation Administration Maintenance (OAM) for Ethernet to enable Services Provider to manage large, complex networks with extensive subscriber numbers, and to help Providers isolate, maintain, and manage subscriber network traffic. Other features include 802.3ah 'Ethernet in the First Mile' standard compliance, Q-in-Q, and Carrier Class Rate-Limiting and QoS.
The ES3528M-SFP is a member of Edge-Core's FTTx series of Metro Access Switches and CPE devices that provide complete solutions for service provider infrastructure and subsciber endpoint Merto Access networks.
