S14 & PS14P (PoE) Convenient Switches Installation and User Guide (01/06)

the front. Any mix of the Convenient Switches, Media Converters may be placed on a tray, up to a maximum of 16 units. (The mounting spaces of the MC14-TRAY are specific to the “S14”-series, and do not permit other models). A typical installation of the model MC14- TRAY, 19” rack-mount tray will hold a few (often three to eight) S14-Series & PS14P(PoE) Convenient Switches, with their power supplies plugged into power strips (not included) in the rear area of the tray. Metal mounting screws in the bottom-front hold the Media Converters firmly in place. The beveled-top edge of the units permit the LEDs of each unit to be viewed for operational status, even when the units are very close together.

3.3MC14-TR+PS9 & MC14-TR+PS9X2 for Rack Mounting Media Converters The MC14-TR+ PS9 and MC14-TR+PS9X2’s are another option available for Rack Mounting the mix-match of 10Mbps and 100Mbps Media Converters and the S14-Series & PS14P(POE) Switches together in a 19” rack-mount tray. These models comes with built-in common universal AC power supplies rated at 55 watts at 50°C ambient, 12VDC output,
