Modular rack mountable multiplexer that can accept many types of data and video for use in data transport and recording applications. .
AL4000 Multiplexer
Smaller, Tougher version of Apogee’s AL4300 Suitable for Airborne & Harsh Environment Applications.The AL4000 is a field configurable system for merging multiple data sources into a composite stream (multiplexing) for transmission over communication data paths and separating and reconstructing the composite stream back to the original data sources (demultiplexing). The unit is configurable to accommodate full duplex requirements (multiplexing and demultiplexing in one chassis) and also simplex requirements in which it will perform either the multiplexing or demultiplexing functions.
Modularity and scalability are integral elements of the AL4000 design, making the unit easy to use and expand. The AL4000 can be configured to address specific application requirements and the plug-in modules are easily installed into the chassis, permitting ease of expansion or reconfiguration in the application. Each time a card is installed in the chassis, initial power-on tests are performed, the card slots are read to detect the presence of a card, and the installed cards automatically initialize and re-activate the last programmed settings.

The AL1110 SPIN and AL1111 SPON are part of a series of Apogee Labs Data Network Appliances (DNA) that provide a flexible, scalable and cost effective Ethernet transport for serial PCM data, audio, and video (NTSC and PAL). The SPIN and SPON enable PCM data and clock with serial rates up to 35 Mbps to be sent across LAN’s and WAN’s at network speeds of 10/100/1000 Mbps with minimal overhead. The DNA series is built on a core technology that supports transport speeds in excess of 500 Mbps thus allowing for future expansion to utilize the capabilities of higher bandwidth network design
The SPIN and SPON were developed with both the novice and experienced network integrator in mind. Novice users need only modify a minimal number of settings to begin transmitting data over the network; whereas advanced users may modify packet sizes, port numbers, protocols, MTU sizes, and other lower level settings
