The Fredenstein Bento 10 500-Series Module Rackmount is a 19inch, 3U standard rack enclosure for ten Fredenstein F60X modules or other industry standard compatible cards. Featuring an internal, universal power-supply (90Vac – 240Vac, 50Hz – 60Hz) with unparalleled power: +/-16V at 3.2A each and +48V at 0.3A, Bento 10 will work properly even with the most power demanding modules. Fredentein’s advanced audio routing capabilities significantly reduce wiring complexity. The multi-layer backplane ensures lowest noise figures and maximum signal integrity.
