Overview
The OG-X-FR frame offers the flexibility of independent rear modules for
connectivity to a wide array of interfaces such as BNC, twisted-pair audio, and
fiber. Each frame offers a full rear module that accommodates one card each, or a
high density split rear module that accommodates two cards each. Using the split
rear module allows for up to 20 independent openGear solutions to be installed.
NOTE: Cards and rear modules designed for the DFR-8321 frames are also supported by
the OG-X-FR frames. However, some cards and rear modules may be designed
specifically for the OG-X-FR frames only. Refer to the documentation for your
openGear card for details on the frames you can use.
