Comnet C3 1RU Card Cage with Integrated Power Supply

Overview

The Comnet C3 is a 1RU high-density modular card cage designed to consolidate up to 3 single-width modules (1.0 inch per slot) in a standard 19-inch rack footprint. It ships with an integrated 12VDC 2A power supply — meaning you don't need a separate supply for small-to-medium surveillance or network card deployments. The C3 solves the packaging problem when you have a handful of Comnet converter or interface modules (or compatible third-party cards) that would otherwise consume three separate 1RU slots or require external power distribution.

Compatibility

This cage is compatible with Comnet modular cards designed for 1.0-inch-wide single-slot form factors. Verify your specific module SKU for fit before ordering — the cage's 3-slot capacity accommodates cards in any combination within that width constraint. The 12VDC 2A supply supports modules drawing up to 24W aggregate — sufficient for typical fiber media converters, serial interface cards, and analog/digital I/O modules in the Comnet line. If you're mixing modules from different vendors, confirm voltage and current compatibility with each card's datasheet.

Installation Notes

Dimensions are 19.0 × 7.5 × 1.75 inches (WxHxD) with sub-3 lb weight — standard 1RU rack fit requiring no special mounting hardware beyond standard 19-inch rail hardware. Input accepts 120–240 VAC (auto-sensing), delivering 12VDC at 2.0A DC output. The power supply has >100,000 hours MTBF, rated for operating temperatures from -40°C to +75°C and storage to +85°C — suitable for enclosed equipment rooms and some outdoor-rated enclosures if thermally managed. CE and RoHS compliant. Verify your rack PDU or wall outlet provides adequate AC amperage for your module load; a typical 12VDC 2A supply draws roughly 0.5A at 120VAC depending on load.
