Making DC Power Connections
A 30 foot (9 m) cable connects to each cabinet. A special connector on one end of the cable is plugged
into the cabinet power connector. The cable must be cut to length and terminated inside the J58890R DC
Power Cabinet.
Each rectifier assembly can supply up to 50 Amps of DC current. A minimum of two rectifiers are
installed in each DC Power Cabinet to supply a total of 100 Amps. A third rectifier assembly can be
installed and is used as a backup (N+1). Each Single-Carrier Cabinet can pull up to 18 Amps. Up to three
DC Power Cabinets can be stacked to supply power to Single-Carrier Cabinet stacks.

on page 377 shows a typical power and ground layout for a
DC-powered system without a J58890CG DC Power Distribution Unit.
