1.0 Overview and Specifications
The MiniBay’s modular design allows the flexible configuration necessary to meet a wide range of
applications, including traditional and advanced hybrid fiber coax (HFC), FTTx fiber deep, Wi-Max
networks, wireless outdoor base stations, wireless IP access, and bulk power.
The MiniBay is comprised of a set of CSA listed assemblies that allow new agency approved
configurations to be rapidly constructed. The equipment section can be configured to 19" or 23"
wide rack units (RU), consisting of 23 RU in the front and 23 RU in the rear. An optional “swing rack”
provides 17 RU of additional equipment space.
Thermal management options include conformal-coated fans with electrostatic filters, heat
exchangers, and two high efficiency air conditioning systems.
Each battery storage unit is isolated from the equipment section and can house a variety of battery
types, including a 48V string of GNB M12V155FT batteries that can support a 19.4A load for 8 hours.
A second battery storage module can be added to provide additional capacity or redundancy.
The MiniBay integrates Alpha’s comprehensive line of power solutions for today’s complex
communications powering requirements, including the Cordex series of high efficiency hot swappable
switch mode 48VDC rectifiers and the AlphaGen series of telephony grade DC generators.
