Description
Core Product Summary
The EtherWAN EMC400 is a four-slot DIN-rail chassis designed to house and power selected EtherWAN media converters and Ethernet extenders. It supports mixed media-conversion configurations within an industrial or commercial network installation, allowing compatible devices to be organized in a single chassis.
The chassis provides dual terminal-block power inputs, electrical isolation between installed devices, and fused overcurrent protection. Its hot-swap design supports installation of selected compatible media converters and extenders without interrupting existing communications, subject to the device and installation conditions. The chassis uses a metal enclosure and DIN-rail mounting, with an optional wall-mounting arrangement available through the appropriate kit.

Detailed Product Overview
The EtherWAN EMC400 Series four-slot chassis is designed for network installations that use multiple media converters or Ethernet extenders. Rather than providing Ethernet switching itself, the chassis accommodates selected compatible devices and supplies their required chassis power.
Its four-slot design supports a combination of compatible media converters and extenders, enabling an installation to accommodate different network media within one DIN-rail assembly. Actual functionality depends on the individual devices installed; the chassis does not make unsupported converters compatible.
The dual terminal-block power inputs support a redundant power arrangement. The chassis uses a 12 VDC input, and the specified maximum power consumption is 19 W at full installation, depending on the installed devices. Power supply sizing should account for the complete installed configuration.
Hot-swap capability supports installation of selected compatible devices without interrupting existing communications. The precise procedure should follow the documentation for both the chassis and the device being installed. The metal enclosure and DIN-rail mounting support panel installation, while the specified operating temperature range of 0 to 45°C defines an important environmental constraint.
The chassis is suited to applications where several media-conversion functions must be organized in a compact assembly. Before ordering, confirm the exact model code, the supported converter or extender models, the required power supplies, and the mounting arrangement.
Applications & System Role
The EMC400 chassis serves as a physical and power platform for compatible Ethernet media converters and extenders. It is useful when a network installation requires multiple media-conversion devices to be grouped in one DIN-rail assembly.
By consolidating the devices, the chassis helps organize connections between Ethernet equipment and different transmission media supported by the installed converters. Its dual power inputs provide an option for redundant power arrangements, while the overcurrent protection and electrical isolation help separate installed-device power circuits.
