Overview
Our miniature rack cards have a unique design: front function cards and rear interface cards that connect together on a midplane power bus. This configuration allows interface cables to remain connected while function cards are hot-swapped (and vice versa). Each ClusterBox has a power supply that services all cards in the chassis. You can configure the ClusterBox with a variety of function cards (short-range modems or SRMs, fiber modems, converters, etc.) and you can mix-and-match function cards with different interface cards.

Applications

1000CU8—When you don’t need a full rack, our 8-slot ClusterBox™ gives you the power of up to 16 short hauls or converters in a single enclosure.
1000CU4—Our 4-slot ClusterBox™ is perfect for an office or workgroup connection. It services four to eight devices
1000CU2—Our 2-Slot ClusterBox™ has about the same footprint as a standalone box, but gives you the flexibility of a rack.

Features

• Multi-function—Supports interface converters, CSUs, fiber modems and virtually all Patton mini-modems.
• Hot-swappable—Replace function cards without turning off the power.
• Reliable—Our distributed power system gives each rack card its own power supply circuit
• Cost Effective -- Rack-mount products you have already purchased
