Snippy snip snip and something major goes down. Probably cost a pretty penny. |

25KW? sure, why not. | 
A fair amount of 4GA cabling. |

No kidding! This is a lab, but it's simulating routing for a major metropolitan area/aggregation point. If it was in production, you'd take down a few hundred thousand customers  |

Transfer switch at a CO... 395A... on a single phase of the 480V-3ph feed into the building. |
|
| Gotta love it! that's.....around 570KW of power if the legs are balanced (as they should be)! I'd love to see the genset(s) backing up that CO. It's been a while since I've been in any telco buildings. |

This is awesome. I was curious so I pulled some pricing...
The Cisco 1X100GBE card is $110,000 and the 100GBE CFP LR4 module is $56,000 |

I would assume that, in production, there would be redundancy, correct?
Although sometimes I assume too much. In my field of work, there are redundancies for nearly everything. Heck, some things even have redundancies for the redundancies. It does get pretty redundant.
said by cablegeek01:I'd love to see the genset(s) backing up that CO.
The building I work in (which is not a CO, but does house a lot of rather important equipment), has two 1.5MW CAT diesel gensets.
They are MASSIVE gensets and very impressive to see/hear them start up.
Total load is just under 1MW, but there are two gensets for redundancy in case one fails to start. |

You're about 4 updates behind on your Cordex... Current software is 2.05...
It's a nice product - 3.6 kw rectifiers, or the new 4 kw ones? |
|
| reply to TheMG
That's correct. In the production setups, there is a redundant everything (these boxes have redundant processors and power supplies, but on the core network there are redundant routers in case of a chassis failure), including power supplies and cabling into and out of the buildings, HVAC, you name it... |

Lightweight...
Largest complex I maintain regularly has 6 1.5 MW and 2 2 MW generators, and I was called in on an emergency to another building of ours with 3 5MW turbines... They are impressive as it gets at startup... |

That's good to know! Our DC plant guy is rather old school and shies away from the computer aspect of things. I'll get a hold of Argus/Alpha and get the new load. It's running the 3.6KW rectifier modules, and we're pretty close to capacity (had to move some gear off of it earlier this month). I didn't know they had a 4KW option; time to read up! |

As a heads up - you'll have to update in steps; you can't go from 1.95 to 2.05 in one jump...
There are some pretty big upgrades in 2.04, it's the load I run on most of my sites... But I do a lot of snmp and remote access - in a lab, with physical access, it may not be as big a deal.
And yes, there's a high effiency 4kw module, plug compatible with the 3.6... |

| Thanks! |

Turbines are certainly the coolest sounding getsets, period. We looked at some but decided against it because there was concern about local service and parts.

Couldn't possibly convince you to get a private 10/100/1000 RJ45 connection into that 100G line, could I cablegeek01?
