CBL Introduces the IQ1000C Gigabit Copper Ethernet Smart Switch

CBL Systems has introduced the IQ1000C Copper Quasar Self-Managed Ethernet Smart Switch System. The IQ1000C copper Smart Switch is designed to provide a low-cost, redundant, self-managed Cat5e/Cat6 Gigabit switch for Ethernet applications. CBL's IQ1000C Copper Smart Switch System provides the industry's only virtual "plug-and-go", self-managed, Gigabit solution for reliable performance with sub-second recovery for mission critical applications.

The IQ1000C provides a redundant Gigabit Cat5e/Cat6 ring backbone. Ethernet appliances such as video cameras, digital recorders, and control devices interface the network through one of the available RJ-45 ports. The IQ1000C adapts by auto-negotiating to 10/100/1000 Mbps based on the requirement of the Ethernet appliance. In the event of either a cable break or loss of power the system will automatically re-configure within milliseconds of the interruption. The IQ1000C also provides a RS232/RS422/RS485 interface to connect a serial device for PTZ controls, broadcast applications and for legacy applications.

Key Product Features:
- Self-managed network based on patent-pending Quasar technology;
- Cat5e/Cat6 Gigabit backbone;
- Full Gigabit capability operating up to 300 ft (100m) on all RJ-45 points;
- IQ1000C is ubiquitous with the IQ1000 optical smart switch products;
- RS232/422/485 serial port for PTZ controls, broadcast and legacy equipment;
- Industrial grade reliability.
