Lantronix ION001-A 1-Slot ION Media Converter Chassis
The ION001-A is a fanless 1-slot chassis that lets a single ION slide-in media converter or NID card run as a stand-alone unit at the network edge, powered by an included external AC adapter.
Overview
About the Lantronix ION001-A
The ION001-A (also written ION 001-A) bridges the ION chassis platform and stand-alone deployment. A remote site that needs only one converter can use the same ION slide-in card as the central office instead of a different stand-alone model, keeping spares and configuration consistent. The chassis holds one single-wide ION module, sits on a desktop or mounts on a wall or DIN rail, and is powered by an external adapter with 120-240 VAC input and 12 VDC output.
It is an unmanaged chassis with no backplane management module, but IP-addressable managed ION cards still work and can be managed over their own IP address. Any ION slide-in card that consumes 6 W or less is supported; Lantronix notes that the C4120-1048 is not. There are no chassis LEDs, since the power indicator is on the card itself.
The fanless enclosure measures 102 x 180 x 30.5 mm, weighs 2 lbs and operates from 0°C to 50°C at 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity and up to 10,000 ft. Lantronix lists MTBF of 191,800 hours (MIL-HDBK-217F) including the power supply, and the chassis carries CE Mark, FCC Class A and CISPR Class A approvals.
Key capabilities
- Any ION card, stand-alone
- Holds one single-wide ION slide-in module, so the same card type used in ION106 or ION219 chassis can be deployed alone at the edge.
- Fanless and silent
- A fan-less design suits desktops, wiring closets and customer premises where noise and moving parts are unwanted.
- External AC power included
- The included external supply takes 120-240 VAC and delivers 12 VDC to the chassis, with no internal power module to replace.
- Works with managed ION cards
- Although the chassis itself is unmanaged, IP-addressable managed ION slide-in cards keep their own IP-based management.
- Wall and DIN-rail options
- WMBP wall mount brackets and the WMBD DIN-rail bracket fit the 1-slot chassis for installation beyond the desktop.
How to choose the right ION001-A part number
ION001-A is the only chassis model and includes the external AC power supply. Before ordering, confirm your ION slide-in card draws 6 W or less, and note that the C4120-1048 is not supported. Add a WMBP bracket for wall mounting or a WMBD bracket for DIN rail, both sized for 1- or 2-slot ION chassis, and an IONFP face plate if you need a blank cover.
