Product Overview
The SpectraComm Ethernet Switch (SC-ES) provides
fast ethernet connectivity within the carrier’s internal
network, allowing efficient and secure management of
LAN-attached equipment. As part of the GDC
SpectraComm family of products, SC-ES offers the high
reliability and NEBS safety required in carrier
environments. SC-ES can be deployed as a replacement
to legacy hubs or in new installations where fast ethernet
switching is desired.
SC-ES cost-effectively increases network performance
by reducing the collision domain, thereby easing
congestion problems on existing shared-hub network
traffic. In addition, SC-ES eliminates unnecessary
network traffic and delivers dedicated bandwidth for
each port. SC-ES also provides ethernet security features
that enhance the security of the network.
This manual describes the SpectraComm Ethernet
Switches: the SC-ES 9-Port card and the SC-ES 18-Port
card. Both cards operate in the same manner, except
where noted.
SC-ES 9-Port Ethernet Switch
The SC-ES 9-Port is a single-width, 7-inch by 9.5-inch
(178 mm by 241 mm) printed circuit card that provides
eight RJ45 ports at the Front Panel and one RJ45 port at
the shelf rear panel. The SpectraComm 2000 shelf can
hold up to two SC-ES 9-Port cards, the SC 1001
Enclosure holds a single card. For higher density
applications, the SpectraComm 5000 shelf can hold up
to 16 cards; multiple shelves increment port density.
SC-ES 18-Port Ethernet Switch
The SC-ES -18 Port is a double-width, 7-inch by 9.5-
inch (178 mm by 241 mm) printed circuit card that
provides 16 RJ45 ports at the front Panel and two RJ45
ports at the shelf rear panel. The SpectraComm 5000
shelf can hold up to eight SC-ES 18-Port cards; multiple
shelves increment port density.
