Power Entry Module for Next Generation ATCA300 Optical Transport Equipment
Fairview, PA - May 10, 2007 - Spectrum Power Management Systems introduces a power entry module (PEM) compliant to the PICMG ATCA300 PEM specifications providing -48Vdc power and circuit protection at the equipment interface of an Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA300) Optical Transport rack. This new PEM delivers up to 3.24 kW of uninterrupted, EMI filtered power to the rack through a combined power and signal distribution backplane connector system.
Spectrum's PEM provides provisions for hold-up of 4.0mSec and an in rush current of 5.0 Amps maximum. The PEM is reverse polarity protected with a voltage range of -38Vdc to -75Vdc, a current rating of 60A max., 2.6kW power output, 40W power dissipation and a temperature range of -10°C to 50°C. The power entry module allows for real time monitoring of system voltage and current, and features multicolored LEDs on the front panel to indicate operating status. The circuit breaker has a visual trip indicator and an accidental "off" feature, and users can monitor the module's status from remote locations via the I2C serial bus.
Either one or two PEMs can be used in ATCA racks and no external mounting hardware is required. For ideal operation the PEM should be installed in or near the main intake cooling air stream of the rack. Spectrum's PEM interfaces with the ATCA backplane through a floating, hi-power, multi-contact connector that facilitates power and signaling to the connected equipment.
