Product Description
The PowerCage 401 is a 1U high, rack-mountable, 4-slot enclosure with vents, fans, and
two integrated power supplies that supports a wide range of Extron fiber optic transmitter
and receiver boards. It provides an efficient way to power and mount multiple transmitters
and receivers. It features both RS-232, Ethernet, and USB control and a front panel LCD
screen.
A PowerCage 401 system can include any combination of PowerCage 401 fiber optic
(FOX) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure. Each optional board operates
