Why Buy From Black Box?

MD1980A

in a standard 19" (48.3-cm) rack. It’s 7" (17.8 cm) high and 10" (25.4 cm) deep. In back, the rack has 16 DB25 female connectors and 16 telco connectors.

Because the rack‘s front panel is hinged, you can add and remove cards from the front of the unit without disturbing the DTE and line connections at the rear of the rack.

The front panel is also translucent, so you can easily view the LEDs on the front of the cards. To access a card’s test push button to perform loopbacks, just lower the front panel.

When you order a modem, you’ll receive the Standalone or Rackmount Card 9600 FP Modem, a leased-line cable, and a user‘s guide. The MD1980A-DC also includes a shielded DC power cable.

With the rack (RM421A), you get a 115-VAC, 60-Hz power supply module; a -48 VDC module is available by special order.

Why Buy From Black Box?

Exceptional Value. Exceptional

Tech Support. Period.

Recognize any of these situations?

You wait more than 30 minutes to get through to a vendor’s tech support.

The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you the wrong answer.

You don’t have a purchase order number and the tech refuses to help you.

It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s tech support line is closed.

According to a survey by Data Communications magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say that getting the technical support they need is extremely important when choosing a vendor. But even though network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their overall purchase price for a basic service and support contract, the technical support and service they receive falls far short of their expectations—and certainly isn’t worth what they paid.

At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the

best support. You can even consult our Technical Support Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just the right component for your application.

Don’t waste time and money—call Black Box today.
