MxK Hardware Installation Guide
The MXK in conjunction with zNIDs, provides a complete end-to-end access
solution for fiber deployments (GPON and Active Ethernet) that provide
triple-play services to subscribers. zNIDs at customer sites extend network
intelligence all the way to subscribers with the ability to fine-tune
performance.
The MXK provides advanced Quality of Service (QoS), Ethernet, and IP
features that have been proven in carrier networks around the world and
includes improved cable and fiber management and IP and Ethernet packet
forwarding.
MXK redundant uplinks are the primary communication channel between
subscribers and upstream networking devices. The MXK aggregates local
loop traffic from a variety of media and sends it to an upstream device, such
as an IP router. The MXK supports GPON, Active Ethernet, ADSL and
EFM-SHDSL edge connection technologies and 100/1000 Ethernet and 10
Gigabit (GE) uplinks.
The redundant Ethernet uplinks on the MXK enable network providers to
provision all classes of services in a single platform and leverage the existing
copper infrastructure going to the Digital Loop Carrier (DLC) locations.

supports.

The MXK can be deployed in Central Office environments or outdoor
controlled environmental vaults for remote terminal applications. The MXK
is intended for restricted access locations only.
MXK cards are divided into the following two types:
•
There are three uplink cards for the MXK:
–
MXK MXK-UPLINK-2X10GE-8X1GE
Provides high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with active/standby
redundancy. This uplink card consists of two 10 GE and eight 100/
1000 Ethernet interfaces.
