The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer can be powered from a variety of power
sources. The most common powering method is the nominal

48 V DC power
available in telecommunication facilities.
Using commercially available 60 V AC or 120 V AC power converters,

Powering
4
The DDM-2000 FiberReach Multiplexer wideband shelf uses on-board power
conversion, eliminating the need for slots for bulk power converters. Two
independent
−
48 volt office power feeders (A and B) enter the shelf through
dangler cables (cables that come from the rear of the cabinet and “dangle” to
provide front access to rear connectors), fused at the user panel, and distributed
to the circuit packs. Power conversion is performed through modular power
