The Medallion 2100 Optical A/B Switch is a high-performance solution for network
protection and optical redundancy. Packaged in convenient 1 RU housing, this line of
optical switches provides an automatic or manual fiber switching function to protect the
network from inadvertent service outages due to up-stream optical signal degradation.
Each fiber’s optical signal power level is continuously monitored, as is an adjustable
optical trip threshold for each channel. If the primary fiber’s optical signal power level
falls below the desired optical trip threshold, the unit automatically switches to the
secondary fiber, thus eliminating the need for intervention of a system operator. The
Medallion 2100 is capable of manual switching or can be switched remotely via SNMP
or via a WEB browser adding optical protection to many system applications.
The Medallion 2100 series is designed as a low power, cost-effective, high-
performance switching solution for applications that demand reliable and rapid
response to changing network conditions.
