broadband traffic from the edge of a service provider's (CO) network. It
aggregates traffic using it's 24 Fast Ethernet ports, and two Gigabit Ethernet
combination RJ-45/SFP ports, (see
the switch to receive traffic up to 2 km from the CO using 100BASE-FX fiber
transceivers, or up to much greater distances using 1000BASE-LH transceivers,
