Argus Technologies Offers Short Duration Power Backup For xDSL & FTTx Equipment

Argus Technologies introduced the AlphaCap-665, designed to be used for short duration power backup of 48Vdc powered remote loads such as xDSL and FTTx equipment.

The Argus AlphaCap-665 utilizes a bank of UltraCapacitors™ inside a small enclosure with a power circuit to ensure load equipment can ride through brief converter resets. The AlphaCap-665 draws minimal 48V overhead from the remote system for charging and provides backup power from a 3 to 10 second duration to ensure maximum reliability. The package wall mounts within an existing enclosure and parallels onto the 48Vdc bus, similar to a battery in a standard 48Vdc power system.

"Argus understands the need for uninterruptible power in all conditions for critical telecommunication equipment. The AlphaCap-665 provides an extra layer of stability and reliability for a remote powering network in a compact and flexible mounting package." said Bill Killion, Product Manager.
