Physical Layer Switches
APCON’s patented INTELLAPATCH™ switching products manage physical layer connections in networks and labs to provide easy to use point-to-point connectivity. These switches can replace mechanical copper or fiber optic patch panels that require human intervention to redistribute and re-route end point connections. Ports on APCON switches can be easily reconfigured from either the front panel LCD keypad, RS-232 serial interface or from any TCP/IP network workstation via the LAN interface.


Software
AUTOSWITCH™: Scheduling software for network administrators and engineering test managers. Automates system test routines, reclaims preset switch configurations and allows remote access and control of APCON’s INTELLAPATCH or SCSI switches.


POWERSWITCH™: Server high availability, failover and clustering solution for localized network environments. Works with APCON’s SCSI and Fibre Channel hardware solutions.


SCSI Products
Switches: Electronic Crosspoint Switches enable users to switch multiple computer systems and SCSI peripheral devices via remote operations.


Extenders: High Performance Fiber Optic SCSI Bus Extenders to extend the distance of SCSI devices utilizing fiber optics, allowing users to place remote peripherals up to 10 Km.


Boosters / Converters: MSCS cluster compatible Boosters increase SCSI cable lengths, reduces cable noise and improves signal quality. High-performance bus converters translate Low Voltage Differential (LVD) or Single-Ended (SE) bus signals into High Voltage Differential (HVD) SCSI.
