Connecting power to the Media Converter
Redundant
power inputs
The Media Converter has dual (redundant) power inputs capable of auto-sensing the input
voltage, while providing over current protection and reverse polarity protection.
The dual power inputs can be connected simultaneously to live DC power sources. See Figure
8. If one power source fails, the other live source acts as a backup, and automatically supplies
the Media Converter with power.
Figure 8: Redundant Power Connections
IMPORTANT
Power is supplied through an external 12-48 VDC power source. Check the Technical
Specification section for details about the DC power input voltage.
The Media Converter does not include a power switch; therefore, plugging a wired and
active terminal-block plug into its terminal block will immediately power ON the unit.

CAUTION

Before connecting the Media Converter to a DC power source, ensure the power source
is stable.

CAUTION

This device is intended to be supplied by a listed power source marked LPS or Limited
Power Source, provided with a connector for field wiring terminal.

CAUTION

This device is designed for operation with a safety extra-low voltage (SELV) in

compliance with IEC950 / EN60950 / VDE0805 and in compliance with the low

voltage directive 73/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC.
