The MPC12 is Pico Macom’s 2RU (31/2˝ high) compact 19˝ rack-mountable
chassis with fan-cooled heavy-duty power supply. The integrated power supply
(4-module wide) is a 70-Watt capacity module specifically designed for mini-
modulator applications requiring a highly reliable DC input supply.
Sophisticated packaging and filtering techniques are used to minimize the
need for overall system filtering. The MPC12 power supply employs high effi-
ciency current overload technology and a whisper quiet cooling fan to reduce
heat transfer within the chassis providing cooler overall operation and ensuring
improved long term reliability.
Capable of housing up to 12 mini-modules, the MPC12 chassis is precision
engineered to provide smooth insertion and removal of modules within the pro-
vided slide guides. The unit employs a universal wire-harness configuration
that can accommodate mini modules from Pico Macom, including agile modula-
tors and demodulators, and those from many other manufacturers in a mix-
and-match fashion. Installation is easy. Just slide the modulator or demodulator
into the racking system and plug in the supplied power supply cable and con-
nector. Precise and automated manufacturing and value engineering ensure
unmatched quality, timely delivery and very competitive cost. Custom assem-
bled and fully tested multi-channel systems are also available from Pico
Macom with the combination of fixed channel and/or agile mini-modulators and
demodulators to meet your requirements. Pico Macom backs up this product
with its industry leading 5-year limited warranty.
