Product Description

You realize how critical your 1000BT networks are to your personal success and the success of your overall network strategy. These 1000BT links carry a very high volume of traffic across your network and are absolutely vital to network performance. Virtually all of your 1000BT links are the very definition of mission critical. It’s nothing new and no secret that the uptime of mission critical segments must approach 100%. As a busy network manager, when a problem occurs in a remote closet, you can now handle the problem remotely with a few keystrokes rather than physically going to the site. Seamless switch control from the Datacom switch control software console saves you precious time and is an integral part of the 2X16SP-1000BT Gigabit SPAN Matrix Switch.

The 2X16SP-1000BT Gigabit SPAN Matrix Switch affords the ultimate in network integrity to meet whatever monitoring or analysis requirements you may have and allows the sharing of network tools between 1000BT segments. Your tools can be quickly and effectively targeted at the point of failure, expanding visibility to the farthest reaches of your 1000BT networks.
