Compact Hybrid Fiber-Copper Point-to-Multipoint Aggregation

7 port managed switch

The MetaLIGHT 690Ex supports up to 240 Mbps of symmetrical Ethernet traffic at fiber quality over existing copper and features two optional SFP interfaces supporting 100/1000Base-FX ports. It offers CE 2.0 services on all its ports - both copper and fiber.

The MetaLIGHT 690Ex is the perfect mini-aggregation solution for low-pair count and space constrained locations within hybrid fiber-copper networks. Up to 32 High Speed Links (HSLs) can be supported in a 1RU/19" space. The ML690Ex operates in a Point-to-Multipoint (PTMP) topology, connecting multiple Actelis ML600 Ethernet Access Devices (EADs) each delivering symmetrical Ethernet services to remote subscribers/locations over multiple copper pairs.

The ML600 EADs are connected to the ML690Ex via a High Speed Link that is comprised of 1-16 bonded copper pairs. Any combination of copper pairs per HSL can be configured up to the total number of pairs supported by the ML690Ex unit.
