Overview
The Black Box EME1X8RAK is a hardware module designed to expand connectivity for Alertwerks systems. This rackmount unit provides eight additional ports, enabling you to connect more devices within a structured cabling environment. It is specifically intended for installations where the primary Alertwerks unit requires additional port density, such as in server racks within security control rooms or data centers.
Compatibility
This EME1X8RAK unit is compatible with the Black Box Alertwerks system. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with existing Alertwerks infrastructure, providing a straightforward method to increase the number of connected sensors, cameras, or other compatible devices without requiring a complete system overhaul. Specific compatibility is with the Alertwerks platform requiring additional port expansion.
Installation Notes
The EME1X8RAK is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. Installation involves securing the unit within the rack using appropriate hardware (not included). Wiring connections are made via standard connectors on the rear of the unit.
