DLM205 - Gig-E Aggregator and Optical Transceiver w/ On-Board Chassis Management

DigiLink is a state-of-the-art modular platform leveraging Artel’s 30 years of carrier-class video transport experience. DigiLink is specifically designed to meet the need for a low cost, rugged, and simplified design for transporting broadcast-quality video and Ethernet across IP networks, direct fiber, and optical backbones.

The most deployed solution for the North American metro-regional video-over-fiber market, DigiLink is used by all major broadcasters and networks for their critical contribution feeds for major sporting, news, and live events. DigiLink is the industry’s gold standard for simplicity of design, legendary reliability, and cost-effectiveness. A tightly integrated platform, it also offers uncompressed video-over-IP transport and integrated video and Ethernet switching.

The DLM205 combines a 9 port non-blocking Ethernet switch and aggregator with DL4000 chassis management capabilities.

The innovative design of the DLM205 enables users to manage and monitor DL4000 chassis as well as aggregate 9 channels, 5 external and 4 internal, of 10/100/1000 Ethernet traffic for transport across electrical or optical networks, all in a low cost, single slot DigiLink module. The module is fully non-blocking with a total capacity of 18 Gigabits of traffic plus chassis management and each port independently supports 10/100/1000 Ethernet. The four internal ports can be linked to other modules in a DigiLink chassis to provide internal Ethernet connectivity eliminating the need of external cabling.

Unlike more complicated designs that require dedicated trunking modules and switching matrixes, the DLM205 is a simple Gig-E aggregator compatible with all DigiLink chassis. When used in a DL4000 chassis an additional channel is enabled that includes capabilities to manage, monitor, and configure a chassis via DigiLink Manager HTTP browser based EMS or SNMP. The DLM205 provides a simple, reliable, and low cost solution for transporting video centric traffic and chassis management across Ethernet networks.
