The SM8000 series optical switching modules are members of the VXI Technology SMIP II
™
family. They offer a modular design allowing custom switching configurations. Due to the nature
of routing fiber optic cables and modules, the SM8000 series cannot be mixed in one base unit
with other standard SMIP II products. They have their own single-slot or double-slot base units
(SMIP II platform). The SM8000 series can combine different switch modules within themselves,
and then install into a mainframe with other SMIP II products for a complete switching solution.
