ADTRAN NetVanta 1235P The NetVanta 1235P is one of ADTRAN's specialty switches, designed to provide reliable backbone support over large-area deployments where copper wiring must be utilized. This scenario is particularly common in locations where wiring is cost-prohibitive or impossible. The NetVanta 1235P overcomes this through ADTRAN's proprietary ActivReach system, which boosts the effective length of copper wiring five times past that of traditional Ethernet. The ADTRAN 1234P ActivReach switch can send Fast Ethernet service up to 1600ft -nearly 500m- without the need for signal repeaters. It also supports both PoE and PoE+ over those extended lengths. This is hosted on a solid, reliable 24-port Fast Ethernet switch with the option for up to four additional SFP/SFP+ optical ports for uplink. It also features Layer 3 Lite routing and the ability to act as a controller for ADTRAN's line of Wireless Access Points. In specific scenarios, this makes the ADTRAN 1235P the best option on the market for low-cost Fast Ethernet deployment across large areas with wiring challenges. Those without such restrictions would want to investigate ADTRAN's other switching offerings.
