    MicroRACK, 16-Port


    Quick Facts

  • Multiple functions—supports line drivers, fiber modems, NTUs, and interface converters.
  • Hot-swappable—you can replace the optional MicroRACK cards without powering down, so you cut your network’s downtime.

  • Further Details

    Perfect for overcrowded data centers, a MicroRACK is just 3.5 inches high and is designed to hold multiple MicroRACK cards for various types of line driver, converter, NTU, and other data communications functions.

    You’ve found the perfect solution for overcrowded DDS data centers. The MicroRACK system uses midplane architecture, incorporating internal connectors that run down the center of the chassis. Tuck away up to 16 cards in the MicroRACK system and compare the space and money you’re saving.

    The front-facing buses accommodate a variety of function cards to house interface converters, NTUs, line drivers, and more. The corresponding rear-facing buses receive a variety of interface cards with a wide selection of data connectors: RJ-11, RJ-45, D-Style, fiber, and M-type.

    The cards are protocol independent and pass all appropriate data, clocking, and control signals. You can swap function cards and interface cards when your system changes. You can even hot-swap cards on the fly without shutting down.

    For all the available cards, including power supplies for the cards themselves, see “Related Products.” And for assistance ordering, contact our FREE Tech Support.
