Panasonic KX-NS5172 16-Port Digital Extension Card (DLC16)

KX-NS5172 Digital Extension Card

The Panasonic KX-NS5172 Extension Card provides high-density digital line expansion for the KX-NS series unified communication platforms. This DLC16 module adds 16 digital internal lines to the host PBX system. It supports the connection of Panasonic proprietary digital telephones. The architecture utilizes two RJ45 connectors to interface with the main unit. Each physical port manages eight digital extensions. This design optimizes space within the equipment chassis. Consequently, network engineers can scale system capacity without requiring additional cabinet expansion units in many deployments. The card integrates directly into the dedicated expansion slots of the KX-NS500 or KX-NS700 systems.
