The LRS-102 fiber and copper mux rack is a cost-effective, modular central rack solution for RAD’s Optimux fiber or ASMi-54 SHDSL.bis mux products, extending E1/T1s, data and Ethernet traffic up to 120 km (74.5 miles) over fiber optic links, or up to 2.6 km (1.8 miles) over copper.
The LRS-102 rack provides optional redundant power supplies, optional redundancy of the common logic and 12 I/O slots. Twelve dual-port Optimux-108 and/or Optimux-106 modules support 24 remote units. In addition, the ASMi-54C modules enables the device to support up to eight remote ASMi-54 units over 2-wire, four ASMi-54 over 4-wire or two ASMi-54 over 8-wire.
The unit has central management via the common logic module and occupies one-third of the space of the equivalent number of standalone units.
As a central solution for Optimux fiber optic (WDM) products, LRS-102 supports single mode, multimode and single mode over single fiber optic types, as well as different connectors, such as SC, FC or ST.
The rack is managed using a single IP address. It supports an SNMP RADview application and enables full management of the LRS-102 and the remote units.
By deploying the LRS-102 as a central solution, users save colocation costs, avoid multiple IP addresses in the network, and benefit from a higher port density chassis, resulting in a lower price per port.
LRS-102 applications include:
-
Campus service sharing
-
Ethernet, data and voice range extension
-
Cellular backhaul extension
-
Video conferencing
-
Surveillance cameras connectivity
LRS-102 comes in a 4U-high chassis, mountable in a 19-inch ETSI or ANSI rack.
