The Bay Networks Centillion 1600 is the big brother of the C1000 family and has nearly unlimited power and expandability for an economical price. This really fast ATM switch was developed and produced from NEC in Japan.

If you open the inside, (you may not do this without skill), you would see absolutely perfect design and quality.

I only have seen this before in very expensive RADAR equipment for military use.

On the right picture you see an allmost fully loaded C1600 with two 622 fiber ports in the very left low corner.

The C1600 has two redundant 10 Gigabit switch CPU´s (Switch Fabrics) and two power supplies and a 10 Gigabit backplane.

We own modules for ATM 622 MBit SM, ATM 155Mbit (SM and MM und RJ45) and 34 MBit (Coax) and E1 (RJ45).

Linked with this page, i did open a look into the internal power supplies. Thats the best of the best what has ever been seen in our laboratory.

All its ATM features, its flexibility and the number of 622MBit and 155MBit ports points it out for top level carrier class use.

If you need some of the C1400 / C1600 slot- covers for emty (unused) slots, we can help.

You should not run a C1400 or C1600 with any uncovered slot for a longer time than some 10 test minutes.

We have these covers for the C100 units too.
