The chassis can accommodate two multi-channel media converter modules as well as the optional AT-MCF2000M Management Module for either local (out-of-band) or remote (in-band) network management of the ports on the media converter modules. The unit also features slots for two power supply units for power redundancy or one power supply unit and one fan unit. You can install the unit on a table or in a standard 19-inch rack.
