Product Overview

VCL-MX, IP Multiplexer Gigabit Ethernet, Voice and Data Multiplexer

Orion's VCL-MX, Gigabit Ethernet, Voice & Data Multiplexer may be used to provide legacy Voice, Data and C37.94 Teleprotection Channels over Gigabit Ethernet / IP / MPLS networks with Stratum level timing precision. The VCL-MX, IP Multiplexer uses IEEE-1588v2 PTP synchronization technology to provide time-of-day and frequency synchronization to a single central GPS source with 0.5 micro-second (500 nanosecond) accuracy.
