Power Node/30
1650, Issue 1, March 2011
B. Description
The Power Node/30 is a power building block that supports a wide range of small to medium outside plant
(OSP) telecommunication power applications. The system delivers a temperature-compensated, nominal
–48 VDC output to extend the life of customer provided, sealed, lead-acid batteries that, in turn, provide a
power reserve during electrical outages. The system is sized to accept four EnerSys
lead-acid batteries (not supplied).
Power Node/30 ordering codes are listed in Table 1.
