MGX 8850/B Redundancy Connectors
The MGX 8850/B chassis has optional 1:3 (RCON-1to3-8850) and 1:5 (RCON-1TO5-8850) RCONs for
1:N redundancy when using MPSM-16-T1E1 cards. A single chassis supports up to four RCONs, on the
left and right sides of the upper and lower bays. These RCONs are keyed to ensure that back cards are
inserted properly.
Figure 1-4 shows an RCON installed in an MGX 8850/B chassis. Figure 1-18 and Figure 1-19 show the
1:5 and 1:3 assemblies, respectively.
