And then the one next to that at 7:00 has the RJ45 port on its bottom edge. Lastly my sleuthing noted the weather proof enclosure a the bottom right of the image. Now that I've listed all that, its probably stuff from a coffee maker or something...  |
Not bad Kevin, not bad at all. I have to admit that I am probably most impressed that you that recognized that the enclosure was waterproof
2 O'clock - 10Gig x 24 optical interface card for internet core router circa 2011
Noon - 4G wireless handset chipset test & characterization platform circa 2004
3 O'clock - 4G wireless outdoor base station baseband physical layer subsystem circa 2009
6 O'clock - LMDS backplane modem circa 2001 (old school, high QoS; nobody will pay for high QoS anymore)
7 O'clock - Embedded processor/controller, mates with 3 O'clock above circa 2008
8 O'clock - 100G electrical loopback test card since a real 100G optical modules are $10K a pop... to expensive to use for testing when 16 are needed to test one system.
I had a dozen or so other boards older than 2000 that I tossed last year.
Now the enclosure, I was going to use it for my own project but everybody else in the world seems to have other ideas of what I should be doing with my time. Fine with me as I would have had to use my own time & money to get it going. By the time I do have time, I am sure it will be used something completely different than I had originally intended.
So to get back on topic... yes, LOTS of LEDs on these boards! LOL
