1.3 Product Purpose and Description
The VirtualEdge (VE) connectivity panels are 12-position or
24-position interface panels that are used by the Telco to termi-
nate any 10Base-T, 100Base-T, fiber, or COAX services (or a
combination thereof, or any other services) typically at the CPE
point of demarcation. The service terminated is determined by
the coupler type selected to occupy any one or all of the 12 or 24
positions. The 24-position VE-2424BNC panels come equipped
with BNC couplers (for DS3 services), the 24-position
VE-2424SC panels come equipped with SC couplers (for fiber
services), and the 12-position VE-1212 and 24-position
VE-2424 panels come equipped with CAT 5e couplers for
Ethernet services. The 12-position VE-1200 and 24-position
VE-2400 panels are empty, allowing a variety of individual ter-
minations to be installed in one panel, as needed by the
application or customer. Westell offers a variety of couplers and
cables as orderable options for terminating other services (see
Table 2). A circuit or position designation strip, numbered 1-12
or 1-24, depending on the model ordered, allows installers to
mark the physical position of the circuits terminated at the front
panel. The strip's magnetic backing allows the installer to easily
remove or position the strip when marking or erasing circuit
numbers during an installation.
