ICS Triplex T8312-4 4-Way Rear Connection Adapter for Trusted Expander Chassis

Connection Design and Bus Interface

The T8312-4C uses four 12-pin locking ODU connectors to connect the expander interface to the expansion cables. Its SK1 chassis connection uses a double 96-way DIN 41612 C-type connector. Together, these interfaces provide the physical signal paths between the installed expander interface modules and the connected expansion chassis.

The adapter supports an expander bus data rate of 250 Mbps (0.25 Gbps). It uses the specified TC-301-01, 250 MHz communications cable. In addition, the ODU signal arrangement provides separate differential transmit and receive pairs for slices A, B and C.

Mechanical Design and Environmental Conditions

A shielded metal enclosure houses the adapter connections to support electromagnetic compatibility. The unit clips onto the rear chassis connectors, while a release button allows mechanical removal from the connection assembly.

Furthermore, the specified operating temperature is 0 to +60 deg C, with a storage range of -25 to +70 deg C. The relative humidity range is 10-95%, noncondensing.
