- Supports up to 8 plug-in modules
- Operating temperature ranges from -10°C to 60°C
- Storage temperature ranges from -40°C to 85°C
- Universal prime power input from 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz
- Maximum power consumption of 90 W
- Redundant power supply support (Model 7001P)
- Optional relay adaptor (Model 2380)
The 7180M is a 3RU, 19-inch rack-mount chassis engineered to support up to eight plug-in RF over fiber modules with hot-swap capability, enabling system maintenance and expansion without interrupting live operations. It incorporates a rigid backplane architecture that ensures stable electrical and control connectivity across all installed modules, making it suitable for mission-critical interfacility link deployments.
The chassis integrates switching power supply architecture with support for redundant configuration through dual power supply slots located on the right side of the unit. Each power supply operates through a separate AC input, enabling dual-source power feeding for improved system resilience. In installations where rack integration is not required, a standalone power supply option is available to support distributed or compact deployment environments. Control and monitoring interfaces are accessible via 25-pin D-connectors, with optional relay adapter support for dry contact configurations, providing flexibility for integration into varied system architectures.

Where is the Gold Series 7180M chassis typically used?
The 7180M is used in RF over fiber interfacility link systems where multiple plug-in modules require centralized mounting, power distribution, and system control.
How many modules does this chassis support?
The chassis supports up to eight plug-in RF over fiber or interfacility link modules with hot-swap capability for continuous operation.
What ensures system continuity during maintenance or module replacement?
Hot-swap support enables modules to be replaced without shutting down the chassis, maintaining system operation during maintenance activities.
What interfaces are available for system monitoring and control?
A 25-pin D-connector interface is provided for control and monitoring, with optional relay adaptor support for dry contact integration.
Is the chassis suitable for non-rack installations?
Yes. A standalone power supply option is available for deployments where rack-mounted chassis installation is not required.
