Overview: What Is the FMT04‑CH1U?
The FMT04‑CH1U is a 1U height managed chassis platform that enables you to build high‑performance optical systems by combining various service modules. Specifically, it:
✔ Supports up to 4 line cards such as EDFA amplifiers, OEO converters, DCM modules, OLP protection cards and other FMT series optical modules — giving you flexibility to build your network solution.
✔ Offers SNMP‑based network management with support for tools like Monitor Online and simple management interfaces for remote supervision.
✔ Includes redundant hot‑pluggable AC power supplies (100–240 VAC) for enhanced reliability and uptime.
✔ Provides a compact 1U rack‑mount form factor compatible with standard 19″ racks — ideal for data centres, telecom closets and service nodes.
Consequently, this chassis forms the backbone of scalable optical transmission platforms, enabling operators and integrators to customise their deployments with modular devices tailored to specific needs.
Why You Should Consider the FMT04‑CH1U (and Why Lansotech Solutions Is the Best Option)
Choosing the right chassis is a critical foundation for optical systems that need to scale, integrate varied services, and deliver reliable performance. Therefore, here’s why the FMT04‑CH1U should be on your shortlist:
Flexible Module Support
Firstly, because this chassis supports up to four optical line cards, you can mix and match modules for amplification, conversion, dispersion compensation or optical protection — giving you the versatility to address diverse network requirements.
Centralised and Remote Management
In addition, with SNMP v1 support and management tools, network administrators can monitor chassis and module health, power status and link performance remotely — reducing the need for site visits and improving maintenance workflows.
Redundant Power for Higher Uptime
Furthermore, dual power supplies operating in a 1+1 backup configuration help ensure continuous operation even if one supply fails — a must for mission‑critical optical deployments.
Compact, Efficient and Quiet
Moreover, its 1U rack size, low power consumption (< 50 W), and quiet operation make it suitable for telecom rooms and equipment racks where space and cooling are at a premium.
