Product Information
The SwitchBlade x3112 is a 12-slot access edge chassis switch primarily targeted for service provider fiber access networks, and equally at home at the enterprise network edge and the data center. The switch was designed to deliver high availability, maximum performance with wirespeed non-blocking backplane performance, and high port count.
- FTTx service provider applications
The AT-SBx3112 is a versatile carrier class FTTx platform for delivering Gigabit services to residential, Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) and business customers in the last mile. It features redundant power supplies, controllers and WAN ports to ensure reliability standards in carrier networks are met, along with powerful sub-50 millisecond failover protection using EPSRing for link level protection. - High-availability architecture
The SwitchBlade x3112 is designed to deliver 99.999% reliability, while offering high availability with sub-millisecond hitless failover for mission-critical applications where uptime is essential such as data centers, hospitality, government, and financial institutions. - Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)
The SwitchBlade x3112 supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (30 W) to enable customers to futureproof their network. PoE+ provides greater power for applications such as IP surveillance cameras supporting pan, tilt and zoom, IP video phones, RFID readers, point-of sale or wireless access points. - Secure management
Only authorized administrators can access the management interface of the SwitchBlade x3112. Protocols such as SSH provide an encrypted interface for both local and remote connections, with out of band management achieved though a dedicated Gigabit port if required. - Securing the network edge
To ensure the protection of the data, it is important to control access to the network. Protocols such as IEEE 802.1x authentication guarantee that only known users are connected to the network. Unknown users who physically connect can be isolated to a pre-determined part of the network, offering guests such benefits as Internet access while ensuring the integrity of private network data. - Secure differentiation
QoS schemes for SwitchBlade x3112 access solutions are designed to ensure that application performance and availability are not impacted with network growth. Features such as IEEE 802.1 p/Q enable tiered data services for residential, business and enterprise users or prioritize realtime applications such as IP phones and IP cameras. - Environmentally friendly
The SwitchBlade x3112 is designed to reduce power consumption and minimize hazardous waste. Features include the use of high efficiency power supplies and low power chip sets. The switch also includes an eco-friendly button on the front panel allowing conservation of additional power by turning off all diagnostic LED indicators when they are not required.
