The PL7010 chassis is a standard 19", 3RU chassis, that can hold up to twelve Sat-Light/Platinum cards, the new M&C controller [PL700] and two power supplies [PL7011]. The chassis includes an innovative backplane enabling Foxcom's Sat-Light/Platinum M&C features (DigiRF) and , at the same times, provides legacy dry contact closures, open collector discrete optical and RF alarms and legacy RSSI/PDI discrete monitoring for customers upgrading from a Sat-Light system. In addition, the chassis comes with a variety of expansion connectors for featues such as EDFA control which will be availalbe in future.
The chassis is available either as a stand-alone unit or as part of the PL7010C chassis kit that includes two matching power supplies (PL7011) and an advanced M&C controller (PL700).
Each power supply has an AC input, allowing the use of separate mains power sources for additional redundancy.
