Quintech XTREME 256

The XTREME 256 next generation L-band matrix switch features 256 ports in a compact 12 RU chassis. The XTREME 256 is a full fan-out (distributive), non-blocking switch where an input can be routed to any or all outputs. The XTREME 256 features an industry exclusive flexible matrix architecture (patented) that supports both symmetric and asymmetric configurations of 256 combined inputs and outputs in a single chassis. Asymmetric configurations such as 64x192, 96x160, and more can be implemented as well as the standard 128x128 configuration. It is designed for maximum reliability with redundant and hot-swappable power supplies, fans trays, and control cards plus RF redundancy. It is also designed for ease of maintenance with built-in self-test (BIST) capability and the ability to hot-swap all active components from the front of the unit. The XTREME 256 is highly scalable and can easily be expanded up to 2048x2048 using multiple XTREME 256 modules. Optional integrated expansion ports allow for large systems without using external expansion modules, significantly reducing system size and number of cables.
