Modular 1RU Rack Mounting System
Description
Modular 1RU Rack Mounting System
The BC160i is designed for the BC Series interface cards. With the ability to house up to 6 single-slot BC Series cards with dual redundant power supplies, the BC160 introduces an enhanced card monitoring system and LED signal status, making it ideal for OB and live sound trucks, fixed installations, and fly-away systems.
Cards are inserted into the rear of the frame, ensuring all copper or fibre cabling remains neatly contained within the rack enclosure. System status and monitoring are displayed on the front panel, with additional external monitoring capabilities over an IP network when the optional BM102 network card is installed into the dedicated slot at the front of the rack. The BM102 is fully compatible with SNMP v2.1, allowing integration with third-party management systems, as well as having it's own monitoring webpage.
The BC160 continuously gathers and displays real-time signal status for all installed cards, indicated by the LEDs at the front of the frame.
The frame also features an built-in dual redundant power supplies (PSUs). Each PSU is capable of powering a fully loaded chassis, regardless of the card combinations installed. The two PSUs employ load-sharing technology and are equipped with independent IEC AC inlets, ensuring uninterrupted operation in the event of a single PSU failure.
The BC160 is fitted with 2 powerful, low-noise fans and requires spacing on the left and right the unit for optimal performance of air flow.
For comprehensive facility-wide monitoring, the optional BM102 network card has a built in webpage which allows status monitoring of all signals, cards, and PSUs, viewable from any browser on the connected network. The BM102 is fully compatible with SNMP, enabling quick integration with existing third-party monitoring systems.
