Aurora’s EX3005 managed Ethernet Switch is a five-port, single-width,
half-depth module for the CH3000 Chassis. With an enhanced operating temperature
range, this module is ideally suited for backhauling Ethernet data from non-temperature
controlled locations such as an OTN. Four auto-negotiating 10/100BaseT interfaces
(via RJ-45 ports) provide a direct interface to the CX3001 Communications Module for
remote hub monitoring as well as other third party monitoring equipment. Two 100 Mpbs
optical links (via plug-in transceivers) provide flexibility for daisy-chaining over
long distances. (The fourth Fast Ethernet RJ-45 port is disabled whenever the first of
the two optical ports is populated with a plug-in transceiver.)
One application of the EX3005 is for backhauling Ethernet management
traffic from a remote hub site to the headend location for complete network visibility.
Additional benefits include an Ethernet point of presence at each EX3005 location,
providing the capability of a 5-port Fast Ethernet managed switch as well as possible
long haul extension using the secondary fiber port. Utilizing Aurora’s extensive
optical WDM product line, it is possible to share an existing fiber to transport this
Ethernet traffic.
To simplify installation, the EX3005 will work immediately out of the box
with no configuration required. Additional configuration may be applied to unlock the
advanced management features of the module.
