DETAILED FEATURES

• Direct In-Rack Tapping: Test and align modules outside the rack while taking power and audio directly from your rack slot via the 100 cm extension cable

• 1 Meter Cable Reach: Extended 100 cm cable length gives you ample room to work comfortably on your workbench next to the rack frame

• Multi-Rail Voltage Probing: Integrated 4 mm Hirschmann banana sockets allow fast voltage measurements with standard multimeter leads

• Complete Power Flexibility: Power the module directly from the host rack, an external 5-pin XLR VPR supply, or a lab benchtop power supply

• Modular Expandability: Connect additional boards using the 7-pin Phoenix terminal block to build custom multi-slot testing stations
