The flexBox is part of our web application flexConnect which allows you rapid reconfiguration of plugable transceivers. It provides three FastAccess plugs for optical transceivers like GBIC, SFP, XFP or SFP+. Using it you can quickly and easily reconfigure flexOptix transceivers for any given network hardware. All you have to do is plug in the flexBox into any standard PC or Notebook USB port.
Both, power supply as well as data communication, are USB based which allows mobile use with ease. The flexBox doesn't need any separate software installation, instead it's ran directly from your webbrowser.
