AVPro Edge MXnet 1G rack mount solution, able to hold 15 products, takes up 6U in the rack--includes (2) blanks

AVPro Edge MXnet 1G Rack Mount Chassis — 15-Unit, 6U

The AVPro Edge MXnet 1G Rack Mount Solution is a purpose-built 6U chassis designed to house up to 15 MXNet 1G devices in a standard 19-inch equipment rack. By consolidating encoders, decoders, and control modules into a single organized chassis, it simplifies cable management, improves airflow, and gives AV systems integrators a professional foundation for large-scale MXNet 1G deployments. Two blank panels are included to fill unused slots and maintain a clean rack face.

Description

When deploying MXNet 1G encoders and decoders across a commercial AV system, rack organization directly impacts serviceability and long-term reliability. This chassis accepts up to 15 half-rack-width MXNet 1G units in a 6U footprint — making efficient use of vertical rack space without requiring separate mounting hardware for each individual device. The included rack blanks prevent dust ingress in open slots and allow the installation to look finished even during phased buildouts.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this chassis hold a mix of MXNet 1G encoders and decoders?

Yes. The chassis accepts any MXNet 1G device — encoders, decoders, and compatible control units — in any combination across its 15 slots. This makes it practical for mixed-role deployments in a single rack location.

Does the rack mount chassis include power distribution for the installed devices?

No. The chassis provides mechanical mounting only. Each MXNet 1G device is powered independently via its own power supply or PoE connection from the network switch. A separate rack-mount PDU is recommended for power management.

What happens to open slots when not all 15 positions are populated?

The two included blank panels cover unused slots, maintaining airflow integrity and preventing dust accumulation. Additional blank panels can be sourced if more than two slots remain empty during a phased installation.

Is this chassis compatible with the MXNet Evolution series devices?

This chassis is designed for the MXNet 1G product line. MXNet Evolution series devices have a different form factor and require their own dedicated mounting hardware. Contact AVPro Edge or Creation Networks for guidance on mixed-generation installations.
