You can order the centralized configuration as a turnkey solution, or you can configure it
from existing T640 routers.

In the distributed configuration, the placement of the racks is more flexible. Ensure that
the rack placement allows you to connect the T640 routers to the TX Matrix router using
the fiber-optic array cables. The maximum cable length is 100 m. The total weight and
heat dissipation of the routing matrix are important in the distributed configuration, but
not as critical as in the centralized configuration. For physical and environmental
specifications, see Table 31 on page 333 and "TX Matrix Router Environmental
Specifications" on page 335.
