The (almost) full capacity Toshiba Strata CTX670

No, this is not one of our customer. But indirectly, it is. It belongs to one of our competitor who, after months of internal conflict, became quite wounded. So, being Gentlemen, we decided to help her get back on her feet. But not without additional conditions since it was because of them, we suffered much problems on one of our main accounts for months since last year.

Anyway, this is one of her customer which really used a lot of extensions. When I was with Toshiba, we only learnt (and dreamt) about facing a fully expanded CTX system since none of the customers here ever reached full capacity. Still, this was a great moment for me. I also wished you could have seen my senior technician's face when he saw it for the first time too as usually, he is calm and collected.

How I wished we could have sold one or two of these systems. One fully expanded cabinet can be connected to anohter set via QSIG link and up to a theorectical limit of 128, I think (OK, I forgot). I would be very very happy.

A fully expanded CTX670 uses up to
seven cabinets and about 672 ports

Imagine the wiring needed to house
all the floors. Here, it is neat and tidy
