High-Density Fiber Optic Video Module Chassis
The FVC18 18-slot rackmount chassis provides a centralized housing solution for VERSITRON VersiVision fiber optic video equipment. It can accommodate a combination of up to 18 one-, two-, four-, or eight-channel video modules and video/data modules, allowing users to configure the chassis around the channel requirements of their application.
By consolidating multiple video transmission modules into a single rack-mount chassis, the FVC18 helps organize fiber optic video equipment in centralized monitoring and communications facilities.
Dual Auto-Switching Power Supplies
The FVC18 uses dual 100–240VAC auto-switching power supplies. The redundant power design helps reduce the possibility that a single power supply or module failure will cause a shutdown or affect the operation of other modules in the chassis.
The technical specifications list dual 100–240VAC inputs at 50/60Hz, with each installed module receiving 5VDC at 400mA.
Hot-Pluggable Fiber Optic Video Modules
One of the key advantages of the FVC18 is its hot-pluggable module design. Installed modules can be replaced without powering down the chassis, helping simplify maintenance and service in installations where continuous system operation is important.
Supports Multiple VersiVision Module Configurations
The FVC18 is designed to accommodate a combination of VERSITRON VersiVision:
- 1-channel video modules
- 2-channel video modules
- 4-channel video modules
- 8-channel video modules
- Video/data modules
This allows the chassis to support different channel densities and video transmission requirements within the same rack-mount platform.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The FVC18 uses a plug-and-play design with no adjustments required. LED indicators on the installed modules provide system status information for convenient monitoring.
Internal Cooling Fans
Two air-cooling fans are installed inside the FVC18 chassis to support reliable operation and help eliminate the need for periodic maintenance associated with cooling-system servicing.
19-Inch Rack-Mount Design
The FVC18 is designed for installation in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. The chassis provides 18 module slots in a centralized enclosure measuring 17.60 × 11.81 × 5.31 inches and weighing approximately 33 pounds.
Applications
The FVC18 is well suited for centralized fiber optic video installations including:
- CCTV surveillance systems
- Security monitoring centers
- Centralized video control rooms
- Industrial video monitoring
- Transportation surveillance
- Remote camera systems
- Fiber optic video networks
- Video and data transmission systems
- Multi-channel security installations
- Professional rack-mounted video systems
