Media Cross Connect Blades
Overview
The Media Cross Connect (MCC) is a scalable, physical layer switch
(OSI Layer 1) that allows users, through software control, to
connect any port to any other port within the system providing
the flexibility, reliability, and remote automated control needed
to optimize any dynamic testing environment.
The interface blades for the MCC provide the building blocks of the
multiple-slot chassis system. Each MCC chassis slot accommodates
one blade, providing a modular platform to customize the MCC
system to suit the specific needs of each testing or laboratory
environment.
The type and quantity of ports available on an MCC chassis
system is determined by the blades installed in the chassis. Each
blade has up to 36 ports, depending upon the type, and supports
a variety of protocols and data rates. Some blades are designed
to operate with MSA-compliant (SFP, SFP+, and XFP) transceivers,
so the protocols supported are limited only by market availability.
In addition, MRV has developed unique pluggable transceivers
providing SAS/SATA, SDI, HD-SDI, and coax interface support
for the MCC. In certain applications, installing both copper and
modular transceiver blades provides media conversion within
the MCC chassis that can reduce the need for additional external
devices.
The matrix switch of the MCC is designed to be fully non-blocking
regardless of the type of interface blades used. Each Interface
blade is hot-swappable, has front panel LEDs, and supports link
integrity notification (LIN) and digital diagnostics. Using software
commands compatible ports can be mapped in a bidirectional
or unidirectional mapping, one to any multi-point broadcast or
data mirroring mapping, or fibre channel arbitrated loop (FCAL)
mapping.
