Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Access ODM Switch

The ASF4648XAS is a Gigabit Ethernet point-to-point fiber access switch designed for broadband equipment vendors to quickly capture the emerging unified fiber access market with connection speeds up to one gigabit per second. As a leading Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) partner, Accton provides high quality and flexible design and manufacturing services to leading equipment vendors. The hardware is production-ready, and the software is customizable to enable equipment vendor differentiation.

With 44 gigabit capable Ethernet access ports and four 10GE uplinks in a compact 1U switch, the product is the highest density access switch on the market. It is designed around the Xelerated Programmable Ethernet Switching technology, and can accommodate a comprehensive feature set with wirespeed performance for advanced residential and business access services.

Shorten Time to Market

The market for unified fiber access broadband is quickly evolving. Consumers, business and mobile users demand higher connection speeds and more services. Driven by broadband stimulus and regulatory push for open access models, a second wave of fiber-based access networks is being planned for around the world.

The Gigabit Ethernet access switch allows broadband access equipment vendors to quickly capture the diverse market for next-generation fiber access. Investments in hardware and software by Accton and Xelerated enable vendors to shorten time of market in the range of six to nine months, translating to significant market entry benefits as well as reduced cost for R&D.

The hardware platform is designed to meet superior availability standards and enable operational and maintenance efficiency as required in carrier access environments. The depth of the product is limited to 215 mm to fit into standard 300mm telecom cabinets (ETSI-300), where space is a scarce resource. All ports are front-facing.
