HDX Power Unit

The HDX Power Supply Unit is required when using the PowerPlus Camera Adaptor. The HDX-2ST can be
used as a free-standing unit or rack mounted. The HDX-FR-2 for two HDX units is shown below.
The unit allows PowerPlus to provide a continuous 100 Watts of 12VDC with peak output of 150 Watts
of 12VDC.
