Product Overview
The Converters Chassis offers the user a dedicated and secure
environment for multiple media conversion applications. It also
allows the user to utilize existing and new media converters
either in the rack or in a stand-alone installation.
Flexibility
The Chassis supports up to 12 media converters covering
10Base-T, 10Base-FL, 100Base-TX and 100Base-FX, Gigabit
1000Base-T, Gigabit SX/LX, conversion. In addition, both Multi-
mode and Single Mode options are supported too.
Reliability
The Chassis also supports two high quality hot swappable power
supplies. Either power unit can be removed without disturbing
the Chassis' operation – offering total efficiency, maximum
redundancy and minimum down time. Each converter is supplied
from a common shared power bus – but as an added precaution,
each is individually protected in the event of a problem on the bus
or from the power supply. Each converter can also be changed
without powering down.
Functionality
The Chassis was carefully designed to offer a lifetime of operation.
Incorporated into the Chassis are three long-life cooling fans to
ensure a cool operating environment. The Chassis also features
an LED status panel. Each fans and converter is monitored and
connected to the LED status panel. This indicates that power
is supplied to each converter and that the Fans are functioning
correctly. The power supplies also feature a "trigger guard" to
prevent the supply from being accidentally switched off.
