The Symetrix ARC-PSe Rack Mount Wall Power Supply is a half rack design that functions as a power supply and RS-485 data router with one ARC wall panel in and eight ARC wall panel out ports using RJ45 connectors. The unit provides serial control and power distribution over standard CAT5/6 cable for systems with more than 4 ARCs, or, when any number of ARCs are located long distances from a Integrator Series, Jupiter or SymNet DSP unit. The half-rack form factor conserves rack space. If preferred, the unit may be surface mounted. All mounting hardware is included.
The incoming serial control signal coming from the DSP is received by the ARC-PSe on a RJ-45 input connector, and then power and signal are distributed via the eightRJ-45 output connectors. The use of off-the-shelf CAT5/6 cable and RJ-45 connectors reduces installation time and materials costs.
The unit can connect directly in daisy chain, star, or both configurations to SymNet and Symetrix DSPs. A software calculator allows you to determine the maximum number of ARCs and distances in between that can be supported by the power supply.
