Power Supply
Standard power RFUs are powered over the IF cable from its INU/INUe.
High power RFUs are additionally powered using a separate DC input on the RFU
front panel.
• The high power RFU provides a wide-mouth connection for +/- 21 to 60 Vdc. Both
+ve and -ve pins are isolated from chassis ground.
• The power connector (D-Sub M/F 2W2) and cable is identical to that used for the
INU. See Power Cables.
• Run the supplied power cable through to the power pick up point, which should
be protected by a circuit breaker or fuse in the rack. The circuit breaker or fuse
should have maximum capacity of 8 A.
• For a -48 Vdc supply, connect the blue wire to -48 Vdc (live), and the black wire
to ground/+ve.
