Adder PSU-REDPRO2-8-US – RED-PSU PRO2-8 Dual Redundant Power Supply

Product Overview

The Adder PSU-REDPRO2-8-US is the RED-PSU PRO2-8, a dual redundant rack mount power supply that delivers protected 12V power to up to eight KVM extenders or similar devices from a single 1U chassis. Designed for control rooms and equipment racks where uptime is non-negotiable, this redundant power distribution unit for KVM equipment replaces a tangle of individual plug-top adapters with two load-balanced 495W power modules and remotely managed outputs. For facility engineers seeking a web-managed rack power supply with per-port monitoring, the RED-PSU PRO2-8 consolidates power, monitoring, and failover into one appliance.

Product Description

Racks full of KVM transmitters and receivers traditionally depend on individual external power adapters, each one a potential single point of failure and a source of cable clutter. The RED-PSU PRO2-8 addresses both problems: eight separate, lockable 12V outputs (each rated to 30W) feed connected devices through locking connectors that guard against accidental disconnection during rack work. Two switched-mode 495W power modules share the load on an equal basis in normal operation, and if one module ceases operation, the full load transfers immediately to the other with no interruption to connected equipment.

Dual IEC mains inlets accept 90-264V AC at 47/63Hz, allowing each module to be fed from independent mains circuits or UPS feeds for true input redundancy. Efficiency reaches 94 percent at 50 percent load with a typical power factor of 0.9 minimum, keeping heat output low in densely packed racks. A 10/100 Ethernet port exposes a web interface where engineers can view temperature, fan speeds, and individual per-output current measurements, and switch each output on or off remotely — useful for power-cycling a hung extender without entering the rack room.

Each power module carries an MTBF of 900,000 hours, and the compact 1U 19-inch chassis measures just 275mm deep, fitting shallow AV racks as easily as full-depth IT cabinets. Browse companion extenders and switches in our Adder Technology collection.

Key Features

• Dual Redundant 495W Modules — Two load-balanced power modules share the load equally, with instant full-load transfer to one module if the other fails.
• 8 Lockable 12V Outputs — Each output delivers up to 30W at 12V through a locking connector that prevents accidental disconnection.
• Web-Based Monitoring and Control — The built-in 10/100 Ethernet interface shows temperature, fan speeds, and per-output current, with individual remote output switching.
• Dual Mains Inputs — Two IEC inlets (90-264V AC, 47/63Hz) allow feeds from independent circuits or UPS sources.
• High Efficiency — 94% efficiency at 50% load with a 0.9 minimum typical power factor keeps rack heat low.
• Proven Reliability — Each power module is rated at 900,000 hours MTBF.
• Compact 1U Rack Design — 19-inch chassis at 435 x 44 x 275mm and 4.5kg consolidates eight plug-top adapters into one rack unit.

Typical Applications

• Broadcast studio racks powering banks of KVM extenders
• Government spaces requiring redundant power for mission-critical KVM systems
• Commercial meeting space equipment rooms consolidating device power
• Auditorium and all-hands room rack rooms where remote power cycling reduces service calls

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if one power module fails?
The full load transfers immediately to the remaining module with no interruption to connected devices, and the failure is visible through the web interface.

Can I power-cycle a single connected device remotely?
Yes. Each of the eight outputs can be individually switched on or off through the web interface over the 10/100 Ethernet connection.

Which devices can the RED-PSU PRO2-8 power?
Any device requiring 12V at up to 30W per port with a compatible locking connector, including Adder KVM extenders and switches.

Can each power module run from a separate mains circuit?
Yes. The two IEC inlets are independent, so each module can be fed from a different circuit or UPS for input-side redundancy.

Does it fit shallow AV racks?
Yes. At 275mm (10.8 inches) deep and 1U high, the chassis fits both shallow AV racks and standard 19-inch IT cabinets.

Where can I get help planning a redundant power layout?
