Modular Power Supplies
MAXNET 24V, 3.6A modular power supplies are used to power the MAXNET 5RU active chassis. Once the chassis is powered, it can be populated with MAXNET L-Band amplifiers and/or be used in conjunction with the MAXNET power distribution module to power LNBs through MAXNET L-Band passive modules. Two MAXNET power supply modules can be used in the same chassis in order to implement power redundancy.

Standalone LNB Redundant Powering
The MAXNET standalone, rack mount, redundant LNB powering units allow users to implement a redundant, centralized means of powering up to 16 (each output is independently fused) LNBs. Units are provisioned with L-Band loop through capability (F or BNC connectors) so power can be coupled onto the coaxial cable connected to the LNB, or with quick connect terminal blocks for direct powering of the LNBs. Front access to the redundant power supply modules allows for easy replacement in the event of a power supply failure.

Power Distribution Module
This module is designed to allow for LNB powering from the MAXNET chassis. Eight DC power terminal block outputs are independently isolated to ensure a failed LNB cannot short out the entire powering architecture. The Power Distribution Module must be engaged in a MAXNET active chassis.
