Valere Doubles Power in 2RU Form Factor

Valere Power (Richardson, TX) today debuted the first high-power AC-DC power rectifier in its X7500 family, the X7500A1 which features a power capacity of up to 8,400 Watts and 150 amps, a 50% improvement over the company's existing X Series rectifiers in the same 2RU form factor. The X7500A1 features a 48V output and is made for wireless, enterprise and broadband network applications.

X7500 rectifiers feature horizontal airflow, internal fans and a wide operating temperature range for use in indoor and outdoor applications. They X7500A1 is hot pluggable and features front-panel LED indicators and alarms for AC or DC failures and overtemperature, and an input range of 180VAC to 264VAC for use worldwide.

"Network technologies and services are evolving so quickly that network operators – both public and enterprise – need a power infrastructure that gives them the flexibility to increase the amount of equipment in a location without the burden of overhauling their power systems," said Greg Fasullo, Valere Power vice president of sales and marketing. "The X7500 family continues Valere's tradition of providing power systems that meet today's needs with an eye on the future."

With higher power, the scalability of Valere's systems also improves, allowing the powering of today's networks with fewer rectifiers leaving power shelf slots open for future expansion. Additionally, the rectifiers can be used in a standalone manner without a controller and power shelf, or they can be integrated into networking systems by OEMs who need high power density.

All Valere Power rectifiers are based on the company's patented 94% efficient zero-voltage switch mode (ZVSM) power conversion technology.
