ADX Active Digital Cross-Connect
ADX200 and ADX201
The ADX Active Digital Cross-Connect provides
an innovative solution for interconnecting
systems in telecommunications and exchange
buildings, reducing space by 50 to 80 percent,
increasing flexibility and bringing down overall
capital (CAPEX) and operational expenditure
(OPEX).
an innovative solution for interconnecting
systems in telecommunications and exchange
buildings, reducing space by 50 to 80 percent,
increasing flexibility and bringing down overall
capital (CAPEX) and operational expenditure
(OPEX).
The ADX combines in one package a very
compact SDH add/drop multiplexer (ADM),
up to 64 accessible E1 ports, optional STM-1
aggregation ports, E1 cross-connect and a DDF.
It complies with SDH standards and supports
operations and administration features
required for successful integration into an
existing transport network.

Features
• Non-intrusive automated test access on DDF
• DDF traffic restoration in case of network
• DDF traffic restoration in case of network
failures
• E1 traffic concentration over STM-1. 63 E1
ports can be aggregated on a single fibre
optic or single electrical link.
