TX3 PRODUCTS WITH -256 SUFFIX

Due to the pandemic, the global supply chain has been impacted in ways not experienced by the world in the past. Essential raw materials are difficult to obtain and there is a pronounced shortage of workers in manufacturing centers and logistic companies. The impacts we face include slow, postponed and short deliveries from supply partners.

One part that has been a particularly difficult sourcing challenge for Mircom is a critical microchip used in a number of our TX3 products. As a result, affected items (Old Model Numbers) have been placed on temporary hold for indeterminate period.

The alternative part numbers with -256 suffix (New Model Numbers) are available for ordering.

Please refer the Product Update Bulletin and Manual for more info.
