Product Color and Nomenclature
The product line has undergone a transition to a new colored package. To
distinguish between legacy gray and new black, a "B" prefix is added to all black
shelf and unit code numbers to identify the item color. Note that there is no
difference in the internal electronics and therefore the functioning of this
equipment, whether it be gray or black. Gray-colored modules were discontinued
in June 2008. The modules added to the product portfolio after November 2007
have been available in black only. To simplify the information within this TPIM,
all unit code numbers will be stated without any color prefix. The ordering
information (Section 8), however, does include the available color options.
