1838.0. "Availability of per port switching 10BaseT repeaters" by DRAC::63647::LLUIS () Wed Jan 04 1995 09:39

Hi,

does anyone know when the 10BaseT repeaters (24 & 32 port) per port switching
will be available?

what part number will them have?

There's a customer that has prescribed this repeaters in a project that now
is already won, and we should have these repeaters at the beginning of March.

Thanks in advance,

Llu�s

	The DECrepeater 900TP (32 port 10baset per port) DETPJ-MA should be shipping in the Late March/April 95 timeframe. At present the 24 port telco version is not planned for release this year. Nick

1838.4	the real question is	HGRNCC::FARADAYCHONG	Faraday Chong@hgo (852)2805-3590	`Thu Jan 05 1995 21:06`	10
	re .1 again > 24 port telco version is not planned for release this year. ^^^^^^^^^ My question in .2 was about the 24 port telco version, are you talking about CY95 or FY95? Faraday
1838.5	Tell us...	NETCAD::HERTZBERG	History: Love it or Leave it!	`Fri Jan 06 1995 11:09`	14
	Oh. Sorry. Actually, we are debating whether or not to ship a 24 port telco version of the per-port switching repeaters at all. We have some question as to whether the market actually wants it, because sales of the DETTM vs DETMM have not been as strong as we anticipated... in fact, they've been rather weak. We would welcome feedback on this issue. Do customers want 24 port telco version of per-port switching repeaters? Are they willing to live with the lower port density per module and probably slightly higher cost per port in order to get the sanity of telco wiring? Marc
1838.6	NEEDED for the wiring scheme!!	SCCAT::MILLER		`Fri Jan 06 1995 11:37`	9
	Being in the middle of a network upgrade project for 50 or so offices for one of our major customers that is using only DETTM's, I would be very unhappy to see us not have a plug-and-play per-port switching repeater to match this wiring scheme. All of this customer's wiring (new) is 110 Frame, with Telco connections to the equipment. Putting a 32 port RJ45 repeater into this really plays havoc with the wiring layout, and removes the operation from the customer-doable list. If per-port repeaters were available today, we would be spec'ing them for part of some of these offices.
