Synchronous cross-connect system with the function of ring network interworking using backplane interconnection

摘要

Disclosed is a synchronous cross-connect system with an integrated 2.5 Gbps (STM-16) I/O link and a ring network interworking. The synchronous cross-connect system includes: first and second I/O portions for performing I/O function with respect to a plurality of STM-16 signals, including a backplane signal pattern which takes four units among the plurality of STM-16 signals performing a protection switching and transmission functions; a signal intercrossing portion for crossing/connecting signals of the first and second I/O portions; and synchronizing portion for generating clock signals necessary to the first and second I/O portions and the signal intercrossing portion. As a result, the synchronous cross-connect system performs a transmission function without an additional apparatus in the transmission link with interoffice transmission capacity of 2.5 Gbps (STM-16), and has a high survivability because of a real-time fault recovery function using the ring network interworking.
