The 3000 series is available for multi-mode applications with up to 16 x 16 channels, the 6000 series is available for eight by eight channels to 192×192 channels, and the protection service switches of the 6000n PSS series are available for 16×16 channels.
The 7000 series for 384×384 channels is the cream of the crop. These matrix switches support all modern network management protocols. Since they are equipped with NETCONF and RETCONF control interfaces on a standard basis, they can also be used in software-defined networks (SDNs).
Fibre optic matrix switches are important components for data transmission in fibre optic networks and test environments. Their fields of application range from data centres to telecommunications, network monitoring, and government applications.
