No, the maximum official size is 16AWG which is good for 12A. If you're looking at bringing it up the tower, I'd recommend using a transition terminal block that can handle whatever size wire you're bringing in, and then run a smaller one to the pdu. Bonus reliability points if you use

Yes, both in the DIN rail/sitemonitor form factor (1 8AMP input, 5 3A max outputs), and the Rackinjector form factor (any of the 4 cards positions can be populated with a PDU card, which means the rackinjector can have 0 to 16 PDU ports). On Fri, Nov 18, 2022 at 6:33 AM Gino A. Villarini wrote:

Not really sure why you would need any intelligence. Presumably you have intelligent DC distribution. On Sun, Nov 20, 2022 at 12:25 PM Mike Hammett wrote: > Well right. They aren't hard to find, so given the plethora of options, I > look for recommendations to help narrow it down. > > I looked

Well right. They aren't hard to find, so given the plethora of options, I look for recommendations to help narrow it down. I looked at ICT. Their 300 watt one didn't have any intelligence (which isn't a deal killer), while the 1500 watt one that has intelligence, but seems more appropriate

Recommendations on producing 120vAC out of -48vDC? We are in a Frontier CO and having a hard time finding -48vDC powered devices, so looking to just produce 120 vAC so we can just use standard power supplies for them. Primarily, we need to power a VDSL modem (so like 5 - 10 watts), but
