Introduction
The FiberPlex Technologies RMC‐2101 / RMC‐3101 / RMC‐3102 chassis are standard 19” rack mountable
chassis. Each chassis provides up to nine (9) available slots for any FiberPlex fiber optic isolator (FOI) or
telephone disconnect unit. Note that the size 3 and TDU units will not fit in the RMC‐2101 chassis.
The tenth available slot must be occupied by a power supply module. Each chassis will be shipped with one
power supply module (PSM). A second power supply module may also be added for system power
redundancy, leaving eight (8) available slots for the installation various combinations of FOI units. If the first
power supply module fails, the second will assume the entire system load and carry on normally. The failed
power supply module may be hot swapped with a new one without interruption of FOI operation.
Each FOI must be mated to a chassis mount adapter (CMA), which interfaces the FOI with the slot and assures
correct alignment of the isolator power connector and the chassis power bus.
Key Features
Up to nine fiber optic isolators may be mounted per chassis.
Each fiber optic isolator is accessible and removable through the front of the chassis in the RMC‐
3101 and on the rear in the RMC‐2101.
One PSM‐2010 or ‐3010 power supply and power cord is included with chassis.
Power redundancy is available through an optional second power supply module.
A cable bay is provided below the module bay for cable routing on the RMC‐3101 and RMC‐3102.
Enhanced air flow through two exhaust fans and a vented panel.
