Power / data supply for large-scale Ethernet installations
sPDS-480ca 24 V delivers 480 watts of output
via eight 60-watt ports. The 7.5 V version
delivers 480 watts of output via 16 30-watt
ports. Both automatically accommodate input
voltages ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
Short-circuit protection prevents device failure
due to incorrectly wired fixtures. The standard
IEC power inlet accepts both North American
and international power cables.
With onboard controls, sPDS-480ca
incorporates automatic fixture discovery and
testing, eliminating the need for additional
addressing tools or software. sPDS-480ca
features a backlit LCD for easy menu viewing.
Housed in a 2U rack-mountable enclosure,
sPDS-480ca includes rack handles and surface-
mount brackets, for versatile mounting options.
Over-temperature detection and selectable
shutdown options protect sPDS-480ca against
operation beyond its rated temperature
specification. Variable-speed fans keep noise
levels low and include user serviceable air filters.
