Hitachi Energy FOX515H is a member of Hitachi Energy’s comprehensive

FOX-family of utility proven communication solutions.

FOX515H is positioned as high-end Next Generation backbone multiplexer

complementing the portfolio of FOX access multiplexers like:

• FOX515: Powerful Utility Access-MUX with trunk-capacity up to STM-4 providing

a wide range of user interfaces for legacy, data and voice. Integrated teleprotection

and C37.94 functionalities are just a few of its utility specific features.

• FOX505: Smart and space-efficient Utility Access-MUX with

trunk-capacity up to STM-1 and the full range of user interfaces required for typical

utility applications. FOX505 provides along with traditional services a rich set of

LANfeatures including TDM-circuit emulation over LAN.

FOX515H is a highly scalable device, which allows growing backbone capacities from

STM-1 up to STM-64 for the transport of TDM- as well as of Ethernet-traffic.

This very compact FOX-device (9U high only) provides extensive protection mechanisms

such as HW-protection for MPU and tributaries (two groups 1:N, N=1-5) and the full set

of traffic protection methods like MSP, SNCP and/or 2 / 4-fiber MS-SPring for SDH-connections.

The robust mechanical and EMC-design including the distributed power supply concept of

FOX515H are optimized to cope with harsh environments typical for utility applications.

The mechanical, electrical and EMC / safety performance of FOX515H is fully type-tested

by an independent, certified Swiss Test-lab.

Most interfaces are provided with multirate SFP/XFP cages enabling each individual port to

have a different configuration with a wide variety of optical wave-lengths for WDM,

connectors and available ranges. The integrated space-optimized optical boosters and

amplifiers meet the frequent utility requirement for long, repeater less spans.

FOX515H offers various types of Main Processing Units (MPUs), comprising the system-controller,

the clock & synchronization functionality and a non-blocking cross-connect (DXC).

For efficient network design and traffic grooming, the DXC even allows to cross-connect at DS0

(64kbps) level. If equipped redundantly, the hot swappable MPU’s work in main/ standby protection mode.
