32
Port Physical Layer Switch 1.5 Gb/s
Physical Layer Switch Overview
Fiber Patch
Panel Management: The 32 Port Physical Layer LinkXchange LX1500e is a
multipurpose, non-blocking 32-port crossbar switch for digital signals
at speeds up to 1.5 gigabits per second (Gbps). Any of the 32 outputs
can be connected to any one of the 32 inputs.
The protocol or structure of data routed through the hub is ignored by
the LX1500e and is unaltered by its passage through the hub. As a result,
the LX1500e can be used with many different types of networks and signals
to perform the following functions:
- Route signals from port card inputs to the selected port card outputs.
- Provide an out-of-band command line interface to the user.
- Provide status and alarm information.
- Provide fault isolation when required.
32
Port Physical Layer Switch Features
A single LX1500e can hold up to eight port cards. Each port card
provides the physical ports for four input-output pairs. While the crosspoint
switch itself can operate from DC to 1.5 Gbps, different types of port
cards impose different limitations on the range of data rates or the data
format they will pass.
The LX1500e is available in a rack-mountable enclosure or as a bare "base
unit" that can be custom-mounted. Port cards can be specified as
a part of the LX1500e or ordered separately.
Hardware Features
* Up to 32 non-blocking media-specific I/O ports
* Up to 1.5 Gbps/port baud rate (port card dependent)
* 48 Gbps total bandwidth
* Support for multiple point-to-point, loop, and broadcast communication
links simultaneously
* Automatic I/O Port fault isolation
* Multiple media options
* Out-of-band control through an RS-232 port
* Can be connected to a modem and controlled from a remote location
* Laser on/off control
User
Control Interface
The LX1500e is controlled through an RS-232 port separate from the 32
data ports. It provides a command line interface to configure and receive
status information from the LX1500e.

Ordering Information
| Order Number | Description |
| LX1500 Units | |
| FHS2-xxxxxxxx-00 | LX1500e base unit |
| FHS2-xxxxxxxx-10 | One base unit in rack-mountable enclosure |
| FHS2-xxxxxxxx-11 | Second base unit in rack-mountable enclosure (must be ordered with FHS2-xxxxxxxx-10) |
| The LX1500e is available as the bare base unit, or as one or two units installed in a rack-mountable enclosure. For each LX1500e part number, the "xxxxxxxx" field specifies the port cards that are to be installed in the LX1500e's eight slots. From left to right, the x's specify the cards for slots one through eight. For slots where a "0" is specified, a blank filler plate is installed instead of a port card. Values for "x" for each type of port card are shown in the table below. Port cards may be ordered separately or as part of the LX1500e unit. | |
