  Head End Converter Systems
Valere’s Line Power Solutions are industry-leading
DC-DC converter systems optimized for the demanding power needs of today’s last mile communications systems.
The Head End Converter System is a compact 2RU system consisting of 14 converter modules and an optional 1RU fan shelf. Each module contains three 100VA DC-DC converters. In addition, the Head End Converter System provides up to 42 individual 100VA outputs at either -190Vdc, +/-130Vdc, or +/-190Vdc per shelf.

Applications   Product Features  
 
  • Overlays and New Builds
    The Head End Converter System is ideal for new FTTX deployment. Its small compact size maximizes space available for broadband equipment and new revenue services. Its modular “pay as you grow” concept helps minimize installation and operating cost by sizing the power system to support specific loads.
  • Expansions
    The Head End Converter System is easily expanded from a single, triple 100VA converter up to 14 triple 100VA converters. The modules are hot swappable and easily field installed.
  • -48Vdc to -190Vdc, +/-130Vdc, or +/-190Vdc Power Modules
  • Simplified Output Distribution
  • 42 Feeds in Only 2RU of Rack Space
  • Over 90% Efficiency
   
More Room for Revenue EquipmentEach 2RU shelf accommodates up to 4,200VA of -190Vdc, +/-130Vdc, or +/-190Vdc power.
Reduced Installation and Maintenance Costs — Lightweight chassis for easy rack mounting. Fully connectorized input and output connections reduces field wiring time and errors.
Robust Design — Each shelf supports up to 42 100VA outputs. Each converter has an internal VA protection that limits output to 100VA. The converters are Ground Fault protected to less than 5mA.
Better Quality of Service — With efficiencies greater than 90%, the Head End Converter System reduces thermal load on outside plant enclosures while reducing the amount of incoming energy to support the configuration.
Scalable Solution — The modular concept allows the system to grow from 300VA up to 4,200VA in a single 2RU shelf. Multiple shelves may be combined for large scale deployment.
