A PowerCage system can include any combination of PowerCage fiber optic (FOX) boards
and PowerCage twisted pair (MTP) boards mounted within the PowerCage enclosure.
Each optional board operates independently of the others. This is an integrated system of
individual transmitters and receivers, not a matrixed system.
