FAQs - DC Power Supplies
Typical questions on DC power supplies and DC UPS covering the products and solutions we supply.
A DC power supply converts alternating current (AC) from mains electricity into direct current (DC) suitable for electronic devices. It is used in applications where stable and controlled DC voltage is required, such as powering computers, routers, and other IT equipment.
A DC UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) power supply ensures continuous operation of critical equipment during power outages. It provides backup power seamlessly, protecting against data loss and downtime in server rooms, industrial settings, and remote installations.
PoE (Power over Ethernet) splitters separate power and data signals from Ethernet cables, allowing devices that do not support PoE to receive power over the same cable used for data transmission. They are commonly used in IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points where running separate power lines is impractical.
When selecting power plugs for DC power supplies, factors such as voltage rating, current capacity, connector type (e.g. barrel plug, screw terminal), and compatibility with the power requirements of the device are critical. Ensuring a secure and reliable connection is essential for uninterrupted operation.
Backup power protection is crucial in server rooms and data centers to safeguard against power interruptions that can lead to data loss, equipment damage, and downtime. DC UPS power supplies and other backup solutions ensure continuity of operations, maintaining reliability and protecting valuable assets.
