CAB-96B Expansion Cabinet (VB-44021)

Each added CAB-96B Expansion cabinet expands the system capability by an additional 96 ports.
One or two CAB-96B Expansion cabinets can be installed on top of a CAB-96 Base cabinet. Up to
four CAB-96B's can be installed in a fully equipped, 6-cabinet system.
Multiple slot types are used in the CAB-96B Expansion cabinet. These slot types are as follows:

Optional back-up batteries can be installed for system operation in the event of a power failure.

Fittings for Building Block Connection (VB-44024)

These fittings are for interconnecting cabinets in the building-block configuration. The fittings are
normally shipped with the Expansion cabinets.

Battery Backup (VB-44025)

The backup batteries supply power to the system in the event of a power failure. If the Battery Backup
option is chosen for the system, each cabinet requires its own set of batteries (1 kit per cabinet, 2
batteries per kit). The batteries can back up the system for up to 30 minutes.

Switch Box (VB-44023)

The Switch Box installs in the Base cabinet, and controls power for the Base cabinet and the
Expansion cabinet(s) installed above it. When the power supply is turned on or off in the Base
cabinet, power is also turned on or off for the Expansion cabinet(s).
