Ethernet Network Termination Units and Demarcation Devices
Product Summary
RAD's ETX-102 and ETX-202 Ethernet Network Termination Units (NTUs) are intelligent carrier-owned and operated demarcation devices, installed at subscriber locations to extend and transport Fast Ethernet (FE) or Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) traffic over fiber.
Part of RAD’s unique EtherAccess® portfolio, these Ethernet NTUs incorporate standard Carrier Ethernet attributes, including granular bandwidth provisioning with traffic classification, prioritization and rate limitation per user port, starting at the service hand-off points. Supporting advanced link and service Ethernet OAM schemes for proactive quality-of-service (QoS) and SLA monitoring over the entire service path, the ETX-102 and ETX-202 serve as Ethernet demarcation devices to provide extensive fault detection and diagnostic capabilities to assist carriers in addressing diverse client needs and offering binding SLAs with guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS).
