Black Box Agility Central Power Hub – 16-Port

Manage Power in One PlaceThese hubs provide up to eight or sixteen power outputs in one place. The power distribution units feature a single power supply with an optional secondary, to deliver full power redundancy. The Central Power Hub (CPH) supports 5VDC or 12VDC devices in a 1U chassis for convenient rack mounting. It provides power to grow your installation on demand. The power output ports are lockable, preventing accidental disconnects. Each output is limited to 20 Watts at 12V. Hot-Swappable Power ModulesThe chassis can supply two 460W power modules slot into the back of the Power Hub chassis. Conversion from the mains AC supply to DC voltage occurs within these modules. In situations where redundancy is required, the Power Hub will equally balance a normal load between them. In the case of one module ceasing operation, the Hub automatically transfers the full load to the remaining module, which can easily handle the needs of up to 8 respectively 16 ports. ProtectionPower integrity, safety, and management are at the heart of the Central Power Hub system. At start-up, the CPH automatically checks the validity of the power modules. It then enables each power output in sequence so they are do not overload the modules by starting simultaneously. As the system provides steady power to your installation, protections are in place to ensure against excess demand by anyone connected device. Remote ManagementThe Central Power Hub can be controlled and monitored by a web interface. Temperature, fan speeds, and current measurements are viewable. Each output can be individually controlled. Support for dual power supplies for redundancy, unit comes with one power supply. Supports eight or sixteen 5VDC or 12VDC devices in a 1U chassis for convenient rack mounting.
