Related Products (upgrade path):

• Isolated rack power distribution → BMXXBE1000 (single expander module, sold separately for replacing components or building a custom kit)

• Good for less harsh environments or higher temp ranges → BMXXBE1000H (ruggedized version, same function, for severe environments with different certifications)

• Cable for longer distances → BMXXBC003K (extension cable, 3m) – This is a separate product that can be used between two BMXXBE1000 modules when the supplied 0.8 m cable is not long enough.
