The Input / Output Cards
The TLX48 2RU contains up to 2 horizontally-mounted I/O Cards.
The hot-swappable Input/Output (I/O) cards provide in-service expansion capabilities in sets of 24 ports
per I/O card, thus allowing re-configuration without interrupting signal processing.
Each standard I/O card consists of one Transmit (T) and one Receive (R) optic per port.
I/O Cards are
available with LC-type fiber connectors and can be assembled with Single-mode or Multi-mode
optics (SFP+).
Individual I/O Cards list the ports as 1 through 24. A blue LED located on each I/O card
indicates when power is applied.
The TLX48 2RU can have a minimum of one I/O Card
(24 x 24)
and a maximum of 2 I/O Cards
(48 x
48). Each TLX48 I/O card contains 24 ports, so that when fully configured, the TLX48 will provide a total
of 48 Optical Input/Output connections (SFP+ T/R) described as Ports 1-48. The TLX48 switching matrix
connects any
port’s optical output (SFP+ T) to any port’s optical input (SFP+ R).
Port numbers begin at the left and start with the bottom I/O Card
The Digital Crosspoint Switch
The Digital Crosspoint Switch is a non-blocking asynchronous switch that can connect any input to any
output of Thinklogical’s TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches. Video and Data signals are routed in both
directions and the data stream is de-multiplexed at the receiver to deliver uncompressed, high-resolution
video, audio and peripheral data at the end-
user’s workstation.
