Consumables maintenance – convenient and economical

Motherboard/MCB split design – After the module has reached the end of its plug-in life, only need to remove the MCB separately and replace it.
Plugging and unplugging of optical modules – the system counts in real time and reminds users to pay attention to the life of consumables in time;
Consumables accessories such as TEC/press-knotted box/MCB are designed to be easily disassembled and assembled
