9 Pluto-Orion as replacement for the iPU-8
A Pluto in combination with the Orion can serve as a functional replacement unit for the Stellar
or ipU-8 Network Controller.
When an existing iPU-8 with 8 Orbits installation needs to be replaced, a Pluto with 4 stacked
Orions will suffice. Each Orion can be linked with maximal two Orbits. The type of Orbit is in this
case not relevant (Orbit-1, Orbit-2 or Obit-IO).
NOTE The existing UTP cabling of the Orbit is connected to the S2M cable. This must be
connected to the Orion. The cable length between iPU-8 and Orbit or between
Orion and Orbit remains unchanged.
In the picture below there is an example of replacing an iPU-8 for a Pluto and Orion:
