"New standards can be difficult to get going quickly," said David Owen, business development manager for Pickering Interfaces, "the 60-100 Modular switching chassis provides the critical mass for LXI switching applications. It allows users to choose the best control interface for the application from a wide range of modules. We're excited to be the first for LXI with this product."
