MPO Fan-out Unit
The MF10-6RU unit is six RU high and can be used to interface 10 double slot passive optical modules with
the NCS 2015 ECU. It contains a USB 3.0 hub that consolidates all USB 2.0 connections between the passive
optical modules units and the NCS 2015 ECU using a single USB cable. It allows connections between line
cards and optical passive modules units using simple cabling. It also has an additional USB 3.0 port on its
faceplate that allows it to be connected to only one MF10-6RU unit.
The slots are covered by blank units and USB connectors are connected to the corresponding blank units. A
plastic transparent door can be installed in front of the unit for fiber and cable management. Mounting brackets
are shipped with the unit.
