Product Overview
The OPTONE 19-Inch Rack-Mount Media Converter Chassis (OPT-R14 & OPT-R16 Series) is a professional-grade, high-capacity system designed to centrally power and manage multiple fiber media converters from a single standard server rack. Available in a 14-slot configuration for standalone converters (OPT-R14) and a 16-slot configuration for card-type module converters (OPT-R16), this chassis eliminates messy power adapters and streamlines cable management.
Engineered for mission-critical reliability, the chassis features dual load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies, dual high-volume cooling fans, and advanced slot power isolation. Available with either AC (100-240V) or DC (-48V) power options, it provides carrier-grade stability for enterprise backbones, telecommunication rooms, and large-scale security surveillance networks.
Key Features & Benefits
High-Density Capacity: Accommodates up to 14 standalone converters (OPT-R14) or 16 card-type converters (OPT-R16) operating under various protocols simultaneously.
Dual Redundant Power Supplies: Equipped with two load-sharing, hot-swappable power supplies to ensure zero downtime and uninterrupted network operation.
Advanced Cooling & Maintenance: Features two serviceable high-volume cooling fans with comprehensive LED status indicators for fan, slot, and power monitoring.
Slot Power Isolation: Built-in power isolation protects individual slots from electrical faults, ensuring a short-circuit in one module does not affect others.
Flexible Power Inputs: Available in wide-range AC (100-240V) with standard AC socket or telecom-standard DC (-48V) with a secure terminal block.
Standard 19-Inch Rack Mount: Designed to fit perfectly into any standard 19-inch server rack or telecommunications cabinet, saving valuable space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between the OPT-R14 and OPT-R16 chassis?
The OPT-R14 is designed to house up to 14 standalone-type media converters (which have their own individual desktop casings). The OPT-R16 is designed to house up to 16 card-type media converter modules (which slide directly into the chassis card slots without individual outer shells).
Q2: How do the dual hot-swappable power supplies work?
The chassis utilizes two independent power supplies operating in a load-sharing configuration. If one power supply fails or needs maintenance, the second power supply instantly takes over the full electrical load without interrupting network traffic. Furthermore, you can hot-swap the failed power supply without powering down the entire chassis.
Q3: Does the chassis support both AC and DC power inputs?
Yes! Depending on your facility’s infrastructure requirements, you can order the chassis configured with either a standard AC (100-240V) power module or a telecom-grade DC (-48V) terminal block power module.
