FDX2460 Synchronous 10 Gigabit
Ethernet Access Aggregation Switch

Low cost, small form factor solution for fibre access networks, including cabinet deployments

Overview
Fujitsu’s FDX2460 is a wire speed non-blocking
layer 2 switch with synchronisation and secure
management. Providing a cost effective
solution for Ethernet Aggregation in locations
where space and power are limited, the
FDX2460’s ultra small (200 mm deep) form
factor makes it ideal for deployment in the
street cabinets used by Next Generation
broadband access networks. Its support of
Synchronous Ethernet also allows it to provide
cost effective aggregation for LTE mobile
backhaul. The FDX2460 supports 24 ports of
synchronous 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 4 ports of
synchronous 10 Gigabit Ethernet. This
provides high bandwidth optical interconnect
capability and low cost Gigabit Ethernet
aggregation. The FDX2460 can also be
deployed in a resilient conguration for high
availability applications.
Blending Carrier and Enterprise Capabilities
A benet of the FDX2460 is the blend of
carrier Ethernet and Enterprise Ethernet
features in a form factor that is cost optimised
for access networks. This, combined with
Fujitsu’s long experience of broadband and
bre access delivery, provides carriers with a
new powerful switching element on which to
build new high bandwidth networks.
The FDX2460 can support a mix of provider
bridging and point-to-point VLAN switching
services, as well as consumer focused services
such as multicast. This allows FDX2460 to
provide cost effective aggregation for xDSL
and point-to-point bre deployments, whilst
enabling connection and aggregation of
business services at the cabinet.

In a mixed environment, this capability allows
a service provider to take opportunities to
reach high value business services over the
same infrastructure they are using for
residential customers.
A Wide Range of Access Applications
The FDX2460 can be deployed in a large variety
of business and residential applications. It can
support open cabinet architectures and
modular cabinet deployments, as increasingly
required by EU regulators. Its support of
Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE 1588v2 packet
timing makes it a suitable platform for 3G and
LTE mobile backhaul deployments. The unit
also supports timing interfaces which can
provide timing to (or recover timing from)
other elements within the cabinet or hostel.
The FDX2460 also supports the Broadband
Forum TR-101 features for broadband access
nodes, including PPP intermediate agent and
layer 2 DHCP relay. This, combined with its low
power consumption and small form factor,
makes it suitable for deployment within
Multiple Dwelling Units (MDUs) as a bre
distribution switch.
Secure Management
The FDX2460 supports management by CLI
and SNMP. Because security in the access
network is important, it also supports
authentication via RADIUS and secure
management communications using SSH
and SFTP.
