Figure 3: DC Wire Diagram
Each chassis is equipped with 14 GMT style fuse connections and an unfused bulk DC connection
located on the rear of the chassis. The GMT fused connections are made on “lugless” terminal blocks
with compression screws. The terminal blocks will accept wire sizes up to 12AWG.
The bulk DC connection may be used as a battery input or as an unfused bulk output. The connections
require a terminal lug (1/4” single hole lug with a max tongue width of 0.63” or less), such as PANDUIT
part # LCA4-14-L. Size wires based on the total rectifier capacity and choose conductor size according to
Table 5: Minimum Recommended DC AWG for 90°C Cabling for Unprotected Outputs .
Connecting to a DPoE™ Power Patch Panel or Compact 8 Midspan
Each DPOE™ Power over Ethernet System is shipped with a keyed power connector harness and two
butt splices (PANDUIT part # BSV14X) for use in connecting the panel to the power source. The butt
splices included with the DPOE™ Power Patch Panel will support 14 - 16 AWG solid or stranded wire.
WARNING: Connect each separate DPOE™ Power Patch Panel or Compact 8 Midspan to the
rear of the DPOE™ Power System using one of the 14 GMT-fused outputs per
panel.
Do not wire multiple untis to a single output on the DPOE™ Power System.
