Chapter 1 Product Overview

Front-Panel Description

Front-panel LEDs to show status for each output channel, internal power supplies, fans, and temperature

Quick switchover capability to ensure that the switch does not reboot if the internal switch power supply should fail

Support for telephone-enabled 24-port devices

Small form-factor suitable for rack-mounting to provide maximum wiring closet port density

Two output levels:

–48 VDC with a maximum output of 375 W

12 VDC with a maximum output of 300 W

The two output levels provide a maximum total output power of 675 W. The –48 VDC mode powers telephone systems in Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches.

A single 48-inch (1.2-meter) 16-pin-to-14-pin connector cable (CAB-RPS-1614=) to allow connection to an external device. Additional cables can be ordered separately.

Front-Panel Description

The RPS 675 front panel includes the status LEDs for the RPS and a

Standby/Active button.
