This unit is contained in a compact and rugged aluminum housing with internal dc voltage regulation.
The detachable terminal block, RJ45 Ethernet data connector, and LED indicators provide for easy
installation and monitoring of data and dc power. The MXR4-100TX is designed for rack mounting in
the MXRC-1 subrack. For mounting as a modular stand alone unit see the MX4 series.
