Access Platform Chassis Units

In central distribution centres the requirement of converting existing connections into different media is demanded. For this application a system is needed, which can be easily mounted into the distribution rack and flexibly adjustable to the requirements.

All insertion cards are supplied with power by a central power supply unit via a central backplane.

With the modular access platform, MICROSENS offers an open system for a large number of function modules. These are designed both for LAN and WAN applications and also for the implementation of telecommunications and industrial interfaces.

Together with the standard enterprise chassis with 3 HU structural height and 14 module slots, this special carrier chassis is available with 4 HU structural height and 28 module slots.

Modular media converters from MICROSENS are based on the broadest available range of application modules for media conversion. Depending on the relevant application, users have the choice between over 100 variants. The functionality modules are installed in suitable cabinets.

In addition to the well known 19" versions for housing up to 12 modules, compact desktop cabinets are now also available. The new desktop cabinets expand the deployment range of existing converter inserts, and consequently also enable converter application outside distribution cabinets. They are available as single and twin cabinets. In the twin version two converter inserts of the same series can be combined as required. A major application of twin versions is the integration of converter inserts in the existing network management. For this purpose, in addition to the functionality module, the cabinet is equipped with a web-based SNMP management module.

The desktop versions have different power supply requirements. In addition to inexpensive versions with externalal power supply, versions with switched internal power supply and wide area input are also available. As an option, the internal power supply can be configurated for redundancy. The powder coated metal cabinets are suitable for deployment even in the roughest of environments. They can also be easily installed on walls by means of an optional wall bracket.
