System S2560E:
Flexible Switching System, DC-125MHz/50Mbps
32x32 min, up to 256x256 in a single 5RU unit
(expandable to a full 1024x1024)
Differential
 

Specification Sheet

This field-proven product has what no other switching manufacture can deliver. It provides a solid-state high performance, high frequency configuration that is the most dense available. Perfectly suited for 422 digital data/clock, audio, video or other types of signals ranging from DC to 125MHz, the S2560E is specifically designed for the system professional demanding high signal performance with small compact packaging, and exceptional affordability. It is available in either analog or 422 digital versions (D suffix). The digital version can support 422 data rates to 50Mbps.

Unlike the System S2561E or S2562E, the S2560E has balanced inputs and outputs, not single-ended.

System	Signal Path and Type	Frequency	Applications
S2560E	Differential, analog or digital -422	DC-125MHz	Low-level differential analog without adapters, high level analog with adapters, integrated digital 422 I/O optional
S2561E	Singled-ended, analog (or digital TTL with adapter panels)	DC-125MHz	Low-level single-ended  analog without adapters, high level analog with adapters, optional TTL (>50Mbps) I/O with adapters
S2562E	High performance single-ended analog	DC-2MHz	Low-level single-ended instrumentation analog

New features for the "E" version are:

• Newly designed hot-swap high capacity power section
• Dual AC input connectors
• Enhanced system firmware features

The S2560E provides a host of features including a field expandable configuration from 32 inputs and 32 outputs, to a full 256 inputs and 256 outputs in a single chassis 5RU chassis (8.75" high), and up to a 1024x1024 with 16 units. Inputs and outputs are independently expandable in increments of 32 channels by simply installing a module. The system recognizes the new module and responds accordingly. Using multiple units and the correct adapter panels to interconnect, the S2560E can be configured to a full 1024x1024 configuration within just 80RU total, or less than two full standard equipment racks.

The system can deliver the high density due to the fact that all signal I/O is via high performance SCSI II connectors with 16 differential channels per connector.  For some applications, the user can connect directly to these connectors (audio and '422 or data applications). For most other applications, including video or similar applications, a number of external connector adapter panel assemblies are available for the user to interface with. This includes BNC, RCA, RJ-45, D-Sub and many others. This system also allows the system engineer to mix and match panel assemblies as applications change, plus it provides the ability to locate the system I/O (or a portion of it) either on the front of the equipment rack, the rear of the equipment rack, or located some distance from the actual switching drawer.
