The Benefits
- It allows a user to setup and teardown faster and easier
- Eliminates the need for additional media converters
- It reduces the number of false failures (less cabling errors). What's the cost of failing something that actually works?
- It can save many man-hours spent troubleshooting problems that trace back to cabling errors.
- It saves wear and tear on fiber (fiber connectors can't handle a lot of insertions and withdrawals)
- It allows users to run tests overnight when there is no one in attendance to switch cabling between tests
- It allows users to cable one DUT while the tester is busy testing another DUT
- It allows users to buy less ports of expensive test equipment
- Ports can rapidly be switched to different DUT's
- No longer need to buy additional ports to cover fiber, SM, or MM requirements because the Media Cross Connect will do media conversion.
- It allows users to setup remotely from anywhere in the world.
- Great for the engineer. He can re-cable from his office without having to go to the lab.
- Great for the trainer. She can teach a class in Singapore and re-cable the equipment back at the headquarters.
- Great for the sales force. You can have all of your demos online, and re-cable for specific demos while at the customer site.
