INSTRUCTIONS

• Type 6 rated enclosure provides maximum flexibility for various installation options (pole, wall, underground, or aerial)
• Extended operating temperature for deployment in the harshest outdoor environments
• Remote monitoring via the Cordex® HP controller system offers advanced monitoring and control of the single output channel including power cycling, voltage, and current readings
• Class 4 rated input circuit for fault managed safety
• The DPX 1500W downconverter is part of the distributed power transport product family specifically engineered using the new Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS®) fault managed power distribution technology. The DPX 1500W downconverter converts the incoming ±190 VDC voltage to 48 VDC to power a multitude of communications devices such as small cells, remote radio heads (RRH), and Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
• The device provides one isolated output from a single 12 AWG (4 mm²), 14 AWG (2.5 mm²), or 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) hybrid or copper cable. This output can deliver a maximum of 1500 watts at 48 VDC of total power to remote communication equipment from the DPX power source enclosure system. The maximum distance between the DPX power source enclosure system and the DPX 1500W downconverter is dependent on cable gauge, number of pairs, and load power.
• Distributed power transport architecture enables operators to deploy their network faster by eliminating the need to have AC utility power at each small cell location. At a central location, the central power hub converts the incoming AC power to fault managed power which is transported over a hybrid or copper only cable to a disconnect box and then to a down converter device. This reduces installation and operating expenses, and provides flexibility related to site selection for the installation of the remote communications equipment.
