The 8310 2RU openGear modular frame accommodates up to ten openGear™ cards, providing maximum application flexibility. The 8321 20-Slot 2RU openGear frame is also available.

The frame's lightweight construction and heavy-duty, removable hinged front door is designed for maximum durability. Long term reliability is assured with the front mounted cooling fans and optional redundant power supply. External connectivity for future flexibility includes dual distributed frame references, integrated SMPTE alarm monitoring and Ethernet-ready connectivity.

The 10-slot 8310-C-BNC frame offers the simplicity of a standardized rear connector frame. Any openGear™ card using BNC-type connections can be installed into any slot, without restrictions. Unused slots can be pre-cabled in anticipation of future needs; additional cards can be installed at any time without accessing the rear of the frame.

Where flexibility of I/O connection type is necessary (such as mixed BNC, twisted-pair audio or fiber interfaces), the 10-slot 8310-C frame offers the flexibility of independent rear modules suited to each slot’s interface requirements. Rear modules specifically suited to various card and interfaces can be ordered with card modules and are easily installed. (Rear modules for the 8310-C are sold separately as RM-XXXX-X, with corresponding 9000 series card.)
