DPOE™ Power System User Manual Part Number: PN380C
OVERVIEW
The DP
OE™ Power Patch Panels and the DPOE™ 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
OE™ 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
OE™ Power over Ethernet Systems fit into 19" racks and occupy
1RU height.
The DP
OE™ Power over Ethernet Systems may be powered individually using a DPOE™ Power Supply
(PANDUIT part # DPOEPWRB120Y), which delivers 120 watts at 48 Volts of Direct Current (VDC) to a
single DP
OE™ Power Patch Panel or DPOE™ 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
OE™ Power over Ethernet Systems, a larger power system is
often required. One option is to use the DP
OE™ Power System Chassis with Power Rectifiers, herein
referred to as the DP
OE™ Power System.
The DP
OE™ Power System uses a modular design to supply power at 48 VDC to DPOE™ Power over
Ethernet Systems. The DP
OE™ 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
OE™ Power over Ethernet Systems being used.

The DP
OE™ 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.
