Rack accessory BlueOptics BLMCC 2U Black 0-50°C 8.6kg

The BlueOptics BLMCC is a 2U media converter chassis designed to hold up to 14 media converter modules in a standard 19-inch rack. Constructed from galvanized, cold-rolled steel with a black finish, the chassis supports hot-swappable module insertion and removal without interrupting operation. It includes a common power source with an option for Redundant Power System (RPS) supply, multi-channel airflow for improved cooling, and 32-pin DIN 41612 connectors for reliable module mating. The chassis is intended for installations that require centralized, high-density media conversion for copper and fiber interfaces and supports deployment in carrier, enterprise, campus, and FTTH/FTTB/FTTC environments.

Advantages

The chassis delivers a high-density solution that consolidates up to 14 media converters in a compact 2U form factor, reducing rack space requirements. Its galvanized cold-rolled steel construction provides corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while multi-channel airflow improves thermal management for module reliability. Hot-swappable slots and standardized connectors simplify maintenance, upgrades, and incremental scaling without disrupting network traffic. Redundant power support increases operational availability in critical deployments.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the chassis in a standard 19-inch rack occupying 2U of space and connect the common power input. Insert BlueOptics media converter modules into any available slot; modules are hot-swappable so they can be added or removed while the system remains operational. Ensure module pins align with the chassis 32-pin DIN 41612 connectors and slide modules fully into the slots until they seat. Configure and monitor each media converter module according to the module documentation and the network management practices in use.

Recommendations

Install the chassis in a rack location with adequate airflow and within the specified 0–50 °C temperature range. Use the redundant power option in environments that require high availability. Place modules in any order to meet cabling and conversion needs, and perform routine checks on connector seating and airflow paths to maintain reliable operation.
