Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter

The Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter is a high-density, low-cost device that is ideal for building deployments where the PBX system is on-site and POTS traffic must coexist over the same copper wiring as LRE traffic. Unlike “splitterless” building broadband network solutions, the Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter ships as a separate, compact form factor to ensure that POTS service is separate, and never compromised by LRE switch reconfigurations or downtime.

The Cisco LRE 48 POTS Splitter supports 48 ports in a 1RU form factor. Each splitter has six RJ-21 connectors-two each for connectivity to the patch panel, the LRE switch(es), and the on-site PBX system.

Key Features

Quality of Service—802.1p QoS support provides high and low priority queuing on a per-port basis. Layer 3 QoS support-including DiffServe and application-based queuing—when aggregated by a Layer 3 switch.

Scalability—Up to 15-Mbps symmetric performance over single-pair wiring; Fast EtherChannel port aggregation.

Security—802.1Q port-based virtual local-area network (VLAN) support; Cisco private VLAN access, assuring port security without requiring a VLAN per port; Access control list (ACL) security when a LRE switch is aggregated by a Cisco Layer 3 10/100 Ethernet switch.

Network Management—Cisco Switch Clustering technology and the advanced, Web-based Cisco Cluster Management Suite (CMS) software deliver easy-to-use configuration and ongoing monitoring and management of up to 16 switches. This software is embedded in the switches and delivers remote management of clustered switches and connected CPE devices through a single IP address.
