IntellaPatch® Blades
The INTELLAPATCH is based on a unique bladed design that allows you to work with a variety of protocols and data rates. The INTELLAPATCH is available in 1, 2, 4, 9, and 18-blade models, which support a maximum of 16, 32, 64, 144, or 288 ports, respectively. One of the benefits of a bladed system is that each switch chassis can be populated with different blades as needed. You can deploy any combination of blades within one unit and they can all run independently and simultaneously. This modular design also provides a cost effective means of converting media, such as copper to fiber or multimode to single-mode. Below is a brief summary of the different blade options APCON offers.
Blade Options
