In areas where more than 2 pairs need amplification, an 8-pair and a 24-pair enclosure can be used.
5.2 BRX-XLR-8 packaging
The BRX-XLR-8 comes equipped with an IP65 enclosure that houses four (4) two-pair modules (as
per image on the right below) for a total of eight (8) subscriber loops. Each BRX-XLR-M card has
solid-state primary lightning protection for both pairs. In cases where more than 2 but less than 8
pairs are required, it is possible to order an empty enclosure (BRX-8C) and the required number of
BRX-XLR-M 2-pair modules that are required. Any empty slots in the BRX-8C may be filled with
BRX-BYPASS-TEST modules to allow for the pre-wiring of all the pairs in and out of the BRX-8C
enclosure.
