Product Purpose and Description
The VirtualEdge (VE) VELGX‐30 is a universal, LGX‐com
patible, interface panel used at the CPE point of demarcation.
It has three, empty, rectangular cut‐outs designed to accept
LGX‐type panels and/or LGX‐sized fiber cassettes. A circuit
identification (ID) card is provided inside a clear plastic pack
et, which allows installers to label each coupler position. The
VELGX‐30 comes equipped with the towel/lacer bar mounted
and with the components shown in Table 1. Optional features
include adapter panels, couplers, D‐rings, and a front tray for
additional cable management at the front of the VELGX‐30.
1.4
Product Mounting
The panels can be rack or wall mounted using the included re
versible mounting ears (included in the bag of parts). These
ears allow flush or projected positions in both 19” and 23” stan
dard EIA relay racks, or they can be flipped and repositioned
at the back of the panel for wall‐mounting. See Part 2 and
Figure 3 for more detailed mounting information.

1.5
Applications
To enable a greater variety of service and interface offerings,
service providers are putting more fiber into customer prem
ises, either with Fiber‐to‐the‐Premise or placing more fiber
multiplexers and IP aggregation devices closer to subscribers.
In business markets, the strong demand for Transparent LAN
and Virtual Private Network services creates numerous ap
plications for Westell's VirtualEdge panels. These panels are
intended to be simple, sturdy, and versatile mechanical plat
forms, used to terminate high‐speed Ethernet, fiber, or copper
services in any combination(s). Additional interfaces can also
be installed on a per‐circuit basis.
