The Fiber Driver^® chassis is the foundation for deploying and managing the Fiber Driver media module product family. Chassis are available with one, two, three, four, and sixteen slots.

The three-slot (NC316BU-3), four-slot (NC316BU-4 and NC316BU-4S), sixteen-slot (NC316BU-16) and sixteen-slot Telco (NC316BU-16T) chassis can be equipped with redundant, hot-swappable AC or DC internal power supplies. The two-slot NC316BU-2 and one-slot NC316BU-1 come with a single AC or DC internal power supply.

The NC316BU-1/NP and NC316BU4PMC/NP chassis are designed to host fully passive modules such as the Fiber Driver Splitter/Combiner. Because fully passive solutions require no external power source, these chassis include no power supply.

Chassis with two, three, four and sixteen slots can accommodate a network management module. EM316NM and EM316LNXNM-OT provide monitoring of system temperature, fan status, and power supply.

The NC316BU-4, NC316BU-4S, and NC316BU-16 mount in 19” racks. The NC316BU-3 and NC316BU-16T, have reduced depth form-factors and front-loaded power supplies for Telco installations. These models mount in 23” racks, and the NC316BU-3 can also mount in 19” racks.

The one-slot chassis is suitable for unmanaged use in standalone applications. The NC316BU-2 is designed for single-module managed and two-module unmanaged standalone applications.
