SMC Redundant Power Unit (RPU) for -12MCC 75W power supply unit

Redundant Power Unit (RPU) for SMC-12MCC The SMCMCCRPU is a redundant power unit (RPU) for the Media Converter Chassis SMC-12MCC. The Chassis is normally supplied with one redundant, hot–swappable power supply. The design of the power system is based around flexibility and maximum redundancy. For normal operation, one power supply is sufficient to operate with 12 converters fully loaded simultaneously. However, for critical applications, installing two power supplies is recommended. During 2-power operation, both power supplies will be switched on and will share the currant load between them. In the event that a power supply should fail, the other supply will take 100% of the load. This will happen instantaneously and will have no adverse effects on the operation of the Chassis. Similarly, if a power supply is removed for servicing, it can be switched off and removed while the Chassis continues to function normally.
