Artel Adds Ethernet Aggregators

Artel Video Systems announced that its DLM205 and DLC205 9-port Ethernet aggregators and optical transceivers are now shipping. Integrating within the company's DigiLink video transport platform, both single-slot modules are intended for broadcasters, CATV operators, telco operators, and video service providers looking to aggregate Ethernet traffic across a single optical or electrical connection.The DLM205 and DLC205 are designed to aggregate up to nine channels of 10/100/1000 Ethernet traffic for transport across electrical or optical networks. Intended to be nonblocking and to support a total capacity of 18 gigabits of Ethernet traffic, the modules combine three electrical and two multipurpose SFP cages with four internal ports supporting traffic from other modules in a chassis, plus chassis management into a single Ethernet connection. The DLM205 features integrated DL-Manager HTTP and SNMP capabilities to enable DL4000 chassis in-band management.
