GENERAL DESCRIPTION

iConverter
The 2U (3.5 inch) 19-Module Power Chassis is powered by up to three (3) hot-swappable and redundant universal
AC or DC power supplies and can accommodate up to nineteen
Area Network (LAN) or Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) applications where managed media converters with high density and
a small rack-footprint (2U) are important.

Mechanical Description

The 19-Module chassis consists of any combination of one to three AC or DC power supplies. As can be seen from the model
table on the previous page, the 19-Module chassis models have been pre-configured with one, two and three power supplies. Any
other combination of AC and DC power supplies are permitted. The power supplies provide power to the chassis' 19 backplane
connectors.
1.3

Backplane Architecture

The chassis features 19 module slots numbered 1 (left-most positioned slot) through 19 (right-most positioned slot). As modules
are inserted into the chassis slots, they are seated into the slot connectors.
The A and B Links provide Ethernet connectivity between adjacent slots.
