TraverseEdge™ 206

• Fully integrated SONET ADM and Ethernet switching in a rugged shelf
• Affordable delivery of Ethernet, DS1, DS3, and OC-3/12 services from a compact 2RU system
• Utilizes GFP and VCAT for efficient Ethernet over SONET transport
• Carrier-class design provides full protection for all ports/services and common components
• Ideally suited for metro access as well as OSP and cell site deployments

The TraverseEdgeT 206 (TE-206) is flexible edge multiplexer that integrates SONET ADM and Ethernet switching capabilities in a rugged 2RU high shelf. With its support for a mix of SONET, Ethernet and TDM services, all of which can be fully protected, the TE-206 is optimized for applications in a variety of environments. The TE-206 has been certified by the MEF as supporting standard E-Line (point-to-point) and E-LAN Ethernet services. The NEBS-compliant, fully redundant architecture of the TE-206 provides:

• Fully protected high-speed optical (OC-48) trunks
• Fully protected Ethernet services
• Fully protected DS1/DS3 services and
• Fully protected OC-3/OC-12 services

The TE-206 is a two-slot shelf that can operate in a full 1:1 protection for all ports and common components. Each module provides four FastE, GbE, OC-3/12 front access optical ports, selectable on a per-port basis by simply installing the appropriate Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces, plus four FastE, fourteen DS1, and three DS3 rear-access ports. Each module also includes an SFP optical port for high-speed OC-48 ring connectivity.

The versatile, reliable design of the TE-206 make the platform ideally suited for metro access deployments in central offices, co-location sites, and multi-tenant units (MTUs). Because the TE-206 is environmentally hardened (without fans), it can also be deployed in outside plant cabinets, cell sites, and other extreme environments. In these deployments, the TE-206 complements Turin's flagship Traverse® Multiservice Transport Switch, as well as the Traverse PacketEdgeT, and other TraverseEdge products.
