Valere Power Debuts New LP DC Power System

February 14, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

Valere Power Inc. (Richardson, TX), a maker of power systems for the wireless and broadband sections of the telecommunications industry, debuted its new low-power LP DC Power System, which powers fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or business telecommunications service installations that need high-quality power with battery backup.

The LP Power System squeezes rectifiers, power distribution and battery backup capacity into a 5U-high (8.6 in x 6.43 in) package that gives carriers a new option for CPE power deployment in voice-based FTTH or business communications services that need to have battery backed-up power. The LP Power System provides up to 7 A of 54 Vdc power, with redundant ac-dc power rectifiers for increased reliability. The integrated power distribution is fully connectorized for reduced field wiring time, and offers eight fuse positions. The system can be wall- or rack-mounted.

An optional battery enclosure for up four batteries providing up to 12 Ah of reserve power is also available. The battery enclosure can be flexibly deployed either at the same time as the power system or at a later date. The LP Power System is available with either 1 A, 4 A or 7 A rectifiers. All rectifiers are hot-swappable for easy upgrades and replacements. The system is NEBS Level 3 compliant, can operate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +65 °C, and offers a mean time between failure of more than one million hours.

The LP DC Power System is now available. Pricing starts at $500 for a 1 A redundant system.
