- Substation Hardened-The IMUX 2000 T1/E1 Multiplehxer is designed for harsh environments and has a wide temperature range of -20°C to +65°C (-4°F to +149°F). It meets the IEEE/ANSI standards C.37.90-1989, C.37.90.1 and C.37.90.2 for SWC, fast transient and EMI. It is CE approved and has been tested to BS EN5002:1995. It is also FCC part 15 Class A approved
- Reliability- The IMUX 2000 provides enhanced reliability by offering optional redundant power supplies and common logic modules
- Speed-The IMUX 2000 is designed to handle time sensitive applications such as Protective Relaying. The Dropand-Insert through-channel delay is less than 25 microseconds. It has an average reframe time of <25 ms and also has the ability to enable a Fast Reframing Channel (FRC) for <1 ms reframing
- DS0 Squelching-The IMUX 2000 T1/E1 Multiplexer has the ability to squelch (turn off) the output of a channel module in the Multiplexer upon loss of synchronization. This feature provides security against false tripping on 4-wire analog transfer trip channels and older digital equipment (with limited error checking) during loss of sync and protects against ‘pink’ noise conditions, which result from cross-talk or the frame search. This feature is ideal for preventing false tripping due to system malfunction
CSU Functionality-The IMUX 2000 offers a built in CSU functionality that meets applicable standards for protection including FCC Part 68 approval for direct connection into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). When enabled, the unit will respond to generated loopback codes compliant to either ANSI T1.403 or AT&T TR 54016. It will also maintain and allow local and remote retrieval of performance measurements in accordance with either ANSI T1.403 or AT&T TR 54016;Modular Design-The IMUX 2000 incorporates a midplane motherboard design. Channel modules plug into the front of the unit, and matching module adapter for I/O connections plug into the rear. This eliminates the need for internal chassis wiring when adding new channel cards, simplifying the upgrade.
