OVERVIEW
The
DP
O
E™
Power Patch Panels and the
DP
O
E™
Compact 8 Midspan provide a reliable and cost-
effective solution for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, complaint with the IEEE 802.3af-2003
specifications or the alternate PoE (Cisco Legacy) specifications. These
DP
O
E™
Power over Ethernet
Systems allow centralized powering of network devices, such as Voice over Internet Protocol-based
(VoIP) telephones, IP security and surveillance cameras, or wireless access point (WAP) devices, over
the same cabling used to send data.
DP
O
E™
Power over Ethernet Systems fit into 19" racks and occupy
1RU height.
The
DP
O
E™
Power over Ethernet Systems may be powered individually using a
DP
O
E™
Power Supply
(
PANDUIT
part # DPOEPWRB120Y), which delivers 120 watts at 48 Volts of Direct Current (VDC) to a
single
DP
O
E™
Power Patch Panel or
DP
O
E™
Compact 8 Midspan. However, 120 watts may not be
enough power to support all the Powered Devices (PD) connected to the panel or powered midspan. In
these cases, or in cases of multiple
DP
O
E™
Power over Ethernet Systems, a larger power system is
often required. One option is to use the
DP
O
E™
Power System Chassis with Power Rectifiers, herein
referred to as the
DP
O
E™
Power System.
The
DP
O
E™
Power System uses a modular design to supply power at 48 VDC to
DP
O
E™
Power over
Ethernet Systems. The
DP
O
E™
Power System consists of a chassis (
PANDUIT
part # DPOEPWRCU),
which can accommodate up to three rectifiers (500 or 1250 watt rectifiers), depending on the current and
future power requirements for the
DP
O
E™
Power over Ethernet Systems being used.

The
DP
O
E™
Power System accepts an Alternating Current Voltage (VAC) between 100 and 240 VAC
(47 to 63 Hz) and produces a regulated output of 42 - 56 VDC capable of delivering a max of 10 Amperes
(A) of Direct Current (DC) in an ambient operating temperature range of -40° Celsius (C) to +70° C per
output channel.
