In today's communications world, the growing bandwidth of the digital services offered to customers is increasing.

Transferring circuits to fiber or providing a redundant physical layer back-up route is essential.

Due to local network competition, the demand for lower costs and better service has come full circle.

• Save You Money... by allowing craft personnel to work more efficiently. No need to revisit the splice each time for every special circuit release. Fewer times in and out of splices mean fewer changes of introducing a problem.
• Improve Customer Service... by eliminating the need for craft personnel to keep handling the network. Once RECAPSS is installed, you will never need to touch the splice again, unless you want to reuse the RSU at a different location.
• Transfer Circuits in Milliseconds... means less down time for your customers

Proven in the field technology, RECAPSS units are in service throughout the United States, with Telephone Companies, Commercial and Residential users and the US Military, as well as in Canada, Europe, and the Pacific Rim.

Each switch in a Remote Switch Unit (RSU) connects a Input pair (C) to either an Primary pair (A) or a Secondary pair (B) without interrupting service to the customer. The switching between the Primary or Secondary side is preformed by the Commander Control Software package. The Commander Control Software package, Commander for short, runs on a Windows PC with a modem.

The system accommodates all circuit types suitable for twisted copper pairs. An operator can transfer one pair at a time or select groups of pairs with just one button. In the case of trouble with the secondary pair, the user can rapidly put it back. With three different switch styles and many different packaging options the reusable RSUs repay their initial cost many times over.

• Suitable for all types of environment (aerial, buried, indoor, in-splice and underground applications)
• Housed in either:
  • Standard 19/23" rack mounted housing
  • Sealed PVC case, pressurized through a standard "F" valve
  • Encapsulated in a polyethylene case
• Available in sizes from 25 to 2100 pairs
• Combine as required to handle any size job
• Powered and controlled from the Control Unit (CU) over a control pair, one pair per 100 switches
• Powered ONLY during transfer
• No need for constant commercial power or battery backup
• Transfers tip and ring conductors simultaneously
• Switches are double pole, latching, with a transfer time of 3 msec
• Available in three models, each tailored to the type of switching that will be performed
