Original Press Release:
Phihong's Redundant Power Source Provides Up To 180 PoE Ports for VoIP, IT Applications
FREMONT, Calif. (December 12, 2005) - Phihong USA, a global leader in Power-over-Ethernet solutions, has developed a redundant power source with up to 180 Power-over-Ethernet ports to meet the needs of telecom applications, such as VoIP systems. The RPS accepts three 500-watt power supplies for powering VoIP phones, DC UPS, and lighting systems with single UPS. A typical VoIP phone draws less than 8 watts. With 1500 watts available, 180 PoE phones can be supported from this redundant source.
"Redundant power sources are essential to VoIP systems, particularly for businesses where downtime due to power failure can significantly compromise operations," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. "If VoIP power is provided by PoE devices, an RPS is necessary to keep power generating during an outage."
Each output in the redundant power source is individually protected against overloads causing overheating of wiring from excessive current, thus fully protecting the system against overload, over-temperature and over-voltage. It features diagnostic capabilities and LEDs next to each connector. The RPS was designed to allow easy connection of a battery plant for full DC UPS capability for VoIP phone systems or network switches. A single battery plant can provide a UPS function for over 180 IP phones or a complete rack of network switches.
The redundant power source is 17.25 inches x 13.77 inches x 1.75 inches, and it weighs 2.5 pounds.
OEM pricing for the PSM1500 Series RPS with one 500 watt is $189. Lead time is from stock to 10 weeks. A detailed specification is available at www.phihong.com.
Phihong is one of the leading suppliers of power solutions to networking OEMs, including power supplies, adapters and Power-over-Ethernet products.
