T
he 2RU openGear™ modular frames are designed to
accommodate up to ten openGear™ cards and provide maximum
application flexibility. The 8310-C-BNC frame has the simplicity of a
fixed rear connector frame with 100 BNC connectors. This eliminates
the need for separate slot-dependent rear modules and simplifies
pre-wiring and system expansion. Any openGear™ card using BNC
connectors can be installed into any slot. Unused slots can be pre-wired
into a facility, and additional cards can be installed at any time without
accessing the rear of the frame.
The 8310-C frame on the other hand has the flexibility of independent
rear modules for applications where other types of I/O connections (such as
twisted-pair audio or fiber interfaces) are necessary. The frame also supports slot-
dependent rear I/O modules. Rear modules can be ordered with card modules and
are quick and easy to install.
The openGear™ frames have been designed with an advanced cooling architecture
and include front-door mounted fans provide forced air cooling for all cards and
additional cooling for the power supplies. The intelligent fan controller adjusts fan
speed with changes in frame power loading or temperature. Particular attention
has been paid to frame acoustics in order to keep fan noise to a minimum.
Two looping reference inputs are buffered and distributed to all card slots.
A frame mounted Ethernet port allows a network control module to be added without
occupying a module slot.
A SMPTE 269M alarm monitoring connection is also provided.
The frame can accommodate two front-loaded power supplies. Although a single
supply can fully power a loaded frame, the addition of a second (optional) supply
gives the frame full power redundancy. Each supply is fed by a separate power cord
with a PowerLock cord retainer to guard against accidental power loss. Each power
supply contains an independent cooling fan, status LED and a front-mounted power
switch. One PS-8300 power supply is standard with each openGear™ frame.
