MPC-12R
Universal Chassis and Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Supply
State-of-the-Art full module N+1
redundancy ensures dual supply
operation enabling hot insertion or
removal of either power
supply module without
system disruption and
guaranteeing zero
down time
Current sharing,
redundant design, and
cooling fan provides much
less current load per supply ensuring
cooler operation thereby substantially
improving their long-term reliability
High efficiency supplies (over 75%)
minimize power consumption and
heat dissipation
High isolation O Ring blocking diodes
provide unit-to-unit short circuit
protection and isolation from hot-swap
interaction by preventing power bus
disturbance
Internal fusing circuitry provides
current overload protection and precise
voltage regulation thereby preventing
component damage
Universal and fully compatible with
Pico Macom SAW filtered plug-in
modulators, demodulators, and power
supply modules, and those of most
other manufacturers
Precision engineered chassis enables
smooth insertion or removal of modules
along slide guides
Dedicated home-run individual
power connections facilitate removal of
modules without disabling the system
Front panel display provides quick
and easy system monitoring and
troubleshooting reference

MPC-12R
Universal Chassis and Hot-Swappable Redundant Power Supply
Pico Macom's MPC-12R is a 2RU (3
equipped with fan-cooled HOT-SWAPPABLE REDUNDANT power supply modules. The power
supply system (4-module wide) consists of a pair of ultra compact 78-Watt multiple output modules
specifically designed for mini-mod applications that require ultra-reliable DC input supply. The sup-
plies combine advanced forward converter topology and extensive surface mount technology to
achieve excellent power density. Sophisticated packaging and filtering techniques minimize over-
all system filtering. Current sharing and redundant supply design, equally shares loads between the
supplies and minimize the potential for power bus glitches after a power supply has failed, thereby
improving the longevity of the power supply.
Capable of housing up to 12 mini modules, the MPC-12R chassis is precision engineered to pro-
vide smooth insertion and removal of modules within the provided slide guides. The unit employs a
universal wire-harness configuration that can accommodate mini modules from Pico Macom,
including agile modulators and demodulators, and those from many other manufacturers in a mix
and match fashion. Installation is easy. Just slide the modulator or demodulator into the racking sys-
tem and plug in the supplied power supply cable and connector. Precise and automated manufac-
turing and value engineering ensure unmatched quality, timely delivery and very competitive cost.
Custom assembled and fully tested multi-channel systems are also available from Pico Macom
with the combination of fixed channel and/or agile mini-modulators and demodulators to meet your
requirements. Pico Macom backs up this product with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
