IntellaPatch physical layer switches
Apcon's IntellaPatch physical layer switches are available in 16, 32, 64, 144 and 288 port configurations and offer unparalleled cost, time and energy saving benefits to test lab and network enterprise environments.
With non-blocking, any-to-any connectivity at wire speed, IntellaPatch switches support 1, 2, 4 and 10-Gb/s Fibre Channel, 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet, T1, E1, J1, FDDI and SONET/SDH OC-3, OC-12 and OC-48. For enhanced flexibilty, the multi-protocol blade supports many of the aforementioned protocols and more including, NTSC/PAL, HDTV, ESCON and Infiniband. Apcon's patented solution enables automation, remote access, zone set-up and security of switch management.
Featuring both fiber optic and copper interfaces, IntellaPatch switches are ideal for automating tests of storage systems, servers, peripherals and operating systems. On the enterprise side, IntellaPatch delivers superior network efficiency and cost performance by allowing networks to centralize, share and truly distribute analysis equipment such as probes, sniffers and IDS. Additionally, IntellaPatch is a proven security tool, allowing network infrastructure managers the ability to electronically plug/unplug network connections. Individual workstations, entire floors or buildings can be connected/disconnected from a secure location.
Whether deployed in a test lab environment or on a live network, IntellaPatch will help you reduce capital expenditures and manage your resources more effectively and efficiently.

IntellaPatch Blade
The INTELLAPATCH is based on a unique bladed design that allows you to work with a variety of protocols and data rates. The INTELLAPATCH is available in 1, 2, 4, 9, and 18-blade models, which support a maximum of 16, 32, 64, 144, or 288 ports, respectively. One of the benefits of a bladed system is that each switch chassis can be populated with different blades as needed. You can deploy any combination of blades within one unit and they can all run independently and simultaneously. This modular design also provides a cost effective means of converting media, such as copper to fibre or multimode to single-mode. Below is a brief summary of the different blade options APCON offers.
