Description:

The Central Power Hub (CPH) offers a simple solution for managing the power supply of your KVM systems in one central location. The hub provides 8 or 16 power outputs, delivering the necessary power as your facility grows. The power distribution units come with a single power supply, with an option to add a second unit for full redundancy. The CPH supports 5 VDC and 12 VDC devices within a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis, ensuring space-saving installation.

The power output connections are lockable to prevent accidental disconnection, with each output delivering up to 20 watts of power. Hot-swappable power modules enable uninterrupted operation during maintenance or upgrades.

Protection:

The system protects power signal integrity, ensures safety, and guarantees a stable power supply. Upon startup, the hub checks the power modules and sequentially activates the outputs to avoid overloading. Protective mechanisms ensure connected devices do not excessively draw power.

Remote Management:

The Central Power Hub can be monitored and controlled via a web interface. Key parameters such as temperature, fan speed, and power consumption can be monitored. Each output can be controlled individually.
