Model CFA-24 Transparent Cable Farm Automation Switch Reference Manual Page 2 of 76
Configurations may be expanded by adding channel extender units, allowing users to scale the number of pairs that can
be switched from 24 to as many as needed, in groups of 24. In addition, segment extender units can be cabled together
to add more line segments.
The example above shows 18, CFA-24 units installed in three racks. This would provide 15 segments and 144
channels. A configuration can be as simple as one unit (with 5 segments and 24 channels) or extended
and expanded up to 15 segments and as many channels as needed. Installation in the front and back of a
19” rack reduces the amount of racks required.
