19-inch, 1U, 2000W DC power distribution shelf with -48V telecom-grade monitoring
With 2000W of output power in a 19" 1U shelf that fits a 300mm (11.8") deep cabinet, the ACE102 is a compact, rack-mounted DC power system built for applications where rack space is a constraint. As a telecom-grade PSU shelf, it draws on years of experience shared between Alpha Innovations' engineering, field service and operations teams, delivering high power density without compromising reliability.
Thanks to full front-access distribution, the ACE102 allows very easy installation: the shelf requires no special procedure or tools, and mounting it is all it takes to get it ready to perform. An integrated MCU (Monitoring and Control Unit) delivers essential telecom energy monitoring and control functions at the lowest initial investment. It can be upgraded at any time in the product life cycle to COMPAS, giving secure remote access to system parameters, alarms and event logs, with Python scripting available for on-site automation. Whatever your DC power distribution needs, from telecom cabinets to industrial monitoring sites, the ACE102 has a configuration to fit.
