eSmartJack™

The eSmartJack™ is a native Ethernet NID (Network Interface Device) that is optimized for cellular backhaul traffic. It simply plugs into any available slot in an eCellPak, CellPak or any 400 mechanics housing. It delivers all the performance monitoring and fault isolation functionality of the original SmartJack, plus the addition of the SiteVu telemetry system – all at GigE speed.

SiteVu™ remote monitoring telemetry features include:

  • Internal temperature
  • External temperature probe input*
  • Input voltage level monitor
  • A/B voltage monitor
  • 4 external telemetry inputs; for doors, power supplies, alarms, and other external sources*

 

*Requires installation in SiteVu enabled mountings, such as Westell's eCellPak™ or Westell's EMAS mounting series.

Benefits

  • Enables cellular backhaul providers to deliver native Ethernet from the same CellPak cabinet used throughout most of the U.S. today
  • Provides the network-to-customer interface with complete control and visibility of the termination point
  • Reduces operator OPEX through its simple plug-and-play design that virtually eliminates the need for onsite engineer expertise
  • Reduces operator CAPEX with the ability to add Ethernet transport demarcations to existing CellPak and also allowing the installing of up to 4 Ethernet demarcations in a single, compact eCellPak/CellPak enclosure
  • Offers flexibility in configuration options when used in eCellPak or CellPak, allowing the operator to transport Ethernet in combination with DS1 if desired

Features

  • MEF certified compliant for cellular backhaul
  • Industry standard 400 mechanics
  • Integrated SiteVu remote monitoring system
  • Managed OAM Ethernet switch
  • Temperature hardened -40 to +85° C
  • +24 or -48 Vdc powered
