Section Station Electromechanical Aggregation
Section/maintenance station MDFs aggregate field and campus traffic with 24-port and hybrid rack switches.
1. Scenario
A highway section covers plazas, service areas, and field rings; the section MDF is the natural aggregation toward regional centers.
2. Challenges
Multi-direction fiber inventory; isolate campus IT from EM; frequent expansion.
3. Architecture
Deploy 24GE+4SFP or 26GH hybrid aggregation; 8GE+8SFP for dense field fiber; reserve uplink optics.
4. Recommended Leagrid LGS2000 products
- LGS2000-24GE4GF-M: Managed rack aggregation: 24×GE copper + 4×GE SFP for station/central-room aggregation.
- LGS2000-26GH-M: Managed hybrid-port aggregation (fiber/copper/Combo) for mixed cabling and expansion.
- LGS2000-8GE8GF-M: Managed Gigabit switch: 8×GE copper + 8×GE SFP for dense fiber and video/multi-ring interconnect.
5. Deployment notes
Inventory fiber vs services; clear STP/ring boundaries; separate IT vs EM with VRF or VLAN+ACL.
