Fusion is available in two router frame sizes: an 18RU frame that can be populated up to 576x576 (3G)*, and a 9RU frame for matrix sizes up to 288x288 (3G)*. Both frames feature easy-access, front-loading of all major components - including input, output, matrix & control cards. All plug-in circuit cards and power supplies can be hot-swapped at any time.
‍
Connectivity to the frame is provided by rear-panel blades available as fixed coax and SFP cages for fiber and coax. Full control redundancy is available. Fusion’s frame control system utilizes a Linux driven, dual core, ARM processor for managing control. The frame controller communicates over Ethernet to each matrix card, which, in turn, communicates with it’s dedicated group of I/O cards.

Choice of ConnectivityFusion offers both modular SFP and coaxial cable I/O port connection options for simple interface with all major signal formats. Signal input and output connections to the router are made through rear panel I/O blades, each of which mates to a single, front- accessible I/O circuit card containing active circuitry for the signal paths it supports.The HDBNC I/O blade, for coaxial cable only, utilizes 16 individual connectors for inputs and 16 for outputs. Each channel provides AutoEQ and integrated Reclockers for each input, plus individual multi-rate output cable drivers for each output.The SFP I/O blade supports 8 dual SFP input cages for a total of 16 input channels and 8 dual SFP output cages for a total of 16 output channels.

Each cage supports a wide variety of available SFP modules, including modules for video over IP, HDMI, fiber and coax connections. All SFP modules can be hot-swapped at any time.

Size OptionsAvailable in two frame sizes, 9RU and 18RU, Fusion can be populated to 288x288 (3G)* and 576x576 (3G)*, respectively.

Built for redundancy and easy upgrades, all major components are easily accessed from the front. Redundancy is available for power, frame controller, matrix card (288) and system controller, if desired.
