FB2900 Versions

The hardware platform is identical between the two variants of the product. This means it is possible to upgrade remotely from Base to Fully Loaded.

Power Supply Options:

The FB2900 has a standard IEC C7 (Figure 8) power connector for mains power, but also available are two DC versions:
  • Automotive, 12V-24V DC (Model: FB2900A)
  • Telco 48V DC (Model FB2900T)

Both of the DC versions use an “Anderson Powerpole” connector and come complete with the corresponding plug and 5m length of wire.

“The Firebrick hardware has proved utterly reliable and the technical support from Watchfront has been outstanding. We now have a system that saves us several thousand pounds a year and provides more capacity than we had before”
Bill Pechey – Countryside Broadband
