Overview

The CCD 14-Slot Media Converter Chassis is a high-density solution designed to centralize up to 14 standalone Media Converters within a standard 19-inch rack. This system is specifically engineered for seamless compatibility with CCD-5100, CCD-7100, and CCD-Serial-DB9 Media Converters.

By consolidating power into a single chassis, you eliminate the need for multiple individual power adapters, significantly simplifying cable management and improving overall network reliability.

Streamlined Installation: Simply attach the included bracket to the side of your CCD-Series Media Converter, slide the unit into the chassis slot, and secure it with the mounting screw to establish a firm, reliable power connection.

Key Features

14-Slot High-Density Capacity: Houses up to 14 standalone CCD-Series Media Converters in a space-saving 2RU form factor.

Chassis Works With:

  • CCD-5100 Series (Fast Ethernet)
  • CCD-7100 Series (Gigabit Ethernet)
  • CCD-Serial-DB9 Series (RS-232)

Dual Power Supplies: Can be configured with dual power supplies to ensure 24/7 uptime; if one fails, the other maintains the power supply.

Power Supply Module Options:

  • AC Power Supply Modules 100V–260V
  • DC Power Supply Modules 48V

Hot-Swappable: Replace power supplies or media converters without powering down the entire chassis, ensuring zero network downtime.

Integrated Protection: Built-in circuit breakers protect against over-voltage, over-current, and short circuits.

Redundancy & Maintenance

Dual Power Supply Operation

To maximize system availability, we recommend utilizing dual power supplies. This configuration balances the load between both units and provides seamless failover. If a power module requires maintenance or fails, it can be hot-swapped while the network remains fully operational.

Troubleshooting & Fault Recovery

Alarm Indicators: The Power LED will turn red and an alarm will sound if the electrical current becomes hazardous. The system will return to normal once the fault is cleared.

Fuse Replacement: If the unit is unresponsive and fans are off, check the fuse located directly beneath the AC power inlet.

Cooling System: If the Power LED is green but the internal fans are inactive, the power supply module should be replaced to prevent overheating.

Module Status: If the chassis has power but a specific CCD Media Converter does not, verify the bracket is securely tightened and the converter is fully seated against the backplane.

What is a Media Converter?

A media converter is a networking device that converts one type of network media, such as copper network cabling, to another, such as fibre optic network cabling. This is often used to extend network distances or connect different network types.

What is the difference between Single-Mode and Multi-Mode?

Single-mode fibre uses a thin core to guide light in a single path, enabling long-distance, high-bandwidth transmissions. Multi-mode fibre, on the other hand, has a thicker core that allows multiple light paths to travel simultaneously. While this can increase bandwidth over shorter distances, it can also lead to signal distortion due to the different light paths arriving at different times. This makes multi-mode fibre more suitable for shorter-distance applications, while single-mode fibre is better suited for longer-distance transmissions.

What is an SFP Module?

An SFP module is a small, hot-swappable device that plugs into media converters, switches, network cards, and routers. It provides various connectivity options, such as fibre optic or copper connectors.

What is the difference between Duplex and Simplex?

Simplex Fiber: A single-lane road. Usually, data only travels one way, but "Bi-Di" technology allows two-way traffic on that one lane by using two different colors of light.

Duplex Fiber: A two-lane road. Data travels both ways at once because there are two separate strands of glass—one for sending and one for receiving.

What is PoE (Power Over Ethernet)?

PoE technology transmits electrical power along with data signals over Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power outlets and simplifying network installations, especially for devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones.

What is the difference between Ethernet (Cat) cables?

Ethernet categories (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, etc.) define the speed and frequency the cable can handle. As the number increases, so does the performance.
