Boxborough, MA – July 23rd, 2009 — Artel Video Systems, a leading provider of video over fiber optics equipment, announces general availability of three new models to the DL4000 Video Transport Platform – The DL4042, DL4100, and DL4000P.
Expanding on the success of the original DL4000 chassis, Artel has developed three chassis compatible with DL4000 function modules. These new offerings have dramatically lower price points, making the renowned Artel quality affordable to more carriers who wish to provide pro-video transport over dark fiber. The DL4042 is a one rack unit holding up to four DL4000 modules and featuring fixed dual AC power supplies. The DL4100 is a small compact chassis for a single module with an external universal AC power supply, ideally suited for desktop applications, while DL4000P is a passive design for housing up to four optical modules. All three chassis offer the same dependability and ruggedness users have come to expect from an Artel product. With slots for up to four modules in just 1.75” of height, a single rack unit, and unlimited non-spaced stacking the DL4000 is one of the most space efficient platforms on the market.
“The development of these new chassis came as direct result of input from customers who told us they appreciate the great features, flexibility, and dependability of DL4000 modules but wanted more chassis options, both to lower costs and space requirements. DL4000 users can now choose from four chassis to better match against their specific needs.” said Richard Dellacanonica, President of Artel Video Systems. “We continue to be excited with the response to the DL4000 platform. Our focus on developing unique multi-function, multi-purpose modules based on a small rugged platform has been well received by ILECs, CLECs and Cable TV operators worldwide, while Broadcasters and Media companies continue to ask for Artel by name due to our long standing reputation for quality and dependability.”
