System S2561E:
Flexible Switching System, DC-125MHz
32x32 min, up to 256x256 in a single 5RU unit
(expandable to a full 1024x1024)
Singled-Ended

Specification Sheet
 

This single-ended 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 audio, video, PCM, clock/data or other types of signals ranging from DC to 125MHz,  the S2561E is specifically designed for the system professional demanding high signal performance with small compact packaging, and exceptional affordability. Unlike the System S2560E, the S2561E has single-ended inputs and outputs, not balanced.

New features for the "E" version are:

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

The S2561E 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). 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.

The system can deliver the high density switching configuration due to the fact that all signal I/O is via high density 62 position D-Sub connectors with 16 channels per connector.  For some applications, the user can connect directly to these connectors. For most applications (including video, PCM or similar applications), a number of external connector adapter panel assemblies are available for the user to interface with. This includes BNC, RCA, SMA and 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 unit.

The S2561E is available only in an analog format.  The system also provides full non-blocking and full fanout of signals allowing the user to route a given input signal to one, many, or up to all outputs without signal degradation, loss or input loading.

Using multiple units and the correct adapter panels to interconnect, the S2561E can be configured to a full 1024x1024 configuration in just a total of 80RU, or less than two full standard equipment racks.
