The MX2820 system with a 19-inch chassis houses up to 14 MUX modules to provide seven redundant M13/STS-1 modules in 2U rack units of space.
The MX2820 MUX modules are capable of combining independent T1s, E1s, or T1s and E1s on the same DS3/STS-1 signal. Each pair of MUX modules provides built-in 1:1 redundancy on the DS1 and DS3/STS-1 circuits.
