Rev. B, April, 2016 

The TLX48 can have a minimum of one I/O Card

 (16 x 16) 

and a maximum of 3 I/O Cards

 (48 x 48). 

Each TLX48 I/O card contains 16 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 right 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. 

 

  

 

The Digital Crosspoint Switch 

 

Note:  The  TLX48  supports  the  existing  MX48

’s  I/O  Cards  in  order  to  support  the  legacy 

Velocity extenders.
