Product Description
The R FR 5041 is a high quality compact 1 RU high 19 inch rack frame enclosure for
LYNX Series 5000 CardModules, designed primarily for broadcast and professional
applications.
The rack frame can accept a maximum of 4 Series 5000 CardModules (any
combination*). Primary power supply and a fully integrated LAN port are also included
(LAN port is for remote control using the included LYNX Desktop Controller Software)
All CardModules and the Primary Power supply are installed and removed from the front.
Module rear connection panels are supplied with each CardModule and are mounted on
the rear of the rack as required. All CardModules and the power supply are hot
swappable.
*Note.
Some Card Modules require a larger double height backplane (for I/O reasons)
which will occupy two pack slots. Please refer to individual module specifications for
details. These are typically the modules which currently have a double width backplane
when used with the RFR 5012 2RU rack frame.
The R FR 5041 features an integrated termination panel with connections for AC power
input, remote alarming, LAN control and a rack reference (sync). An ex 12VDC
power input connection is provided for optional external redundant power backup using a
brick power supply (Option R PS 5000)
The Rack frame has a hinged front cover providing easy access to all installed modules
and power supply which are hot swappable.
All electrical contacts inside the RFR 5041, CardModules and power supplies are gold
plated ensuring maximum reliability and protection from corrosion. Modules are
mechanically secured in place and will not shake loose with vibration (ideal for mobile
applications).
The R FR 5041 is one of the primary building blocks in the LYNX Series 5000
CardModule product line providing high quality, modularity and flexibility in a very small
form factor.
