Product overview Introduction The RPS800-A is an external DC power supply that uses AC input and provides DC output for multiple switch and router models as a redundant backup power supply system. The RPS800-A supports cold backup of power supply, which means that the RPS800-A only switches to the RPS output state when it detects a power supply failure of the powered device.
NOTE: For some models of powered devices, the control pin of the RPS800-A can be controlled through a special cable to support hot backup of power supply. When the power supply systems of the powered devices operate properly, the RPS unit also provides part of the power feed to the devices;...
