LightWare PSU-48VP2-220 Spare power supply with IEC plug for 48Volt remote powering of MX-TPS2-IB/OB -P/AP/SP boards. Universal input: 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz. Output: 48V DC, 5.84A.

Product Overview

The Lightware PSU-48VP2-220 is a spare 48V DC power supply with IEC inlet, designed to power Lightware MX-TPS2 series interface boards (IB, OB, -P, -AP, and -SP variants). With a universal 100–240V AC input and 48V DC / 5.84A output, it provides the specific voltage and current required for remote powering of TPS boards in Lightware matrix switcher systems. This is a replacement or additional unit for installations requiring a spare PSU or a second power feed.

Product Description

The PSU-48VP2-220 uses a universal input range (100–240V AC, 50/60 Hz) making it suitable for use in any country without the need for a voltage selector switch or separate adapter. The IEC C14 inlet accepts a standard IEC power cord. The 48V DC output at 5.84A provides the power budget required for Lightware's MX-TPS2 board series, which uses 48V remote powering to drive TPS extender endpoints over structured CATx cabling.

This unit is intended for integrators who need a replacement PSU for an existing Lightware installation, or who require a second supply for redundancy or a new board installation. It is not a general-purpose 48V supply — it is matched to the electrical requirements of Lightware's TPS2 board ecosystem. Available from Creation Networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Lightware boards does this PSU power?

The PSU-48VP2-220 is specified for use with Lightware MX-TPS2-IB (input board), MX-TPS2-OB (output board), and their -P, -AP, and -SP variants used in Lightware MX2 series matrix switchers. Do not use with other Lightware boards or non-Lightware equipment without confirming the voltage and current requirements.

Can I use a generic 48V supply instead?

Not recommended. The PSU-48VP2-220 is the OEM-specified supply with the exact output voltage tolerance, current rating, and connector type required by the TPS2 boards. Using a generic supply risks voltage overshoot, insufficient current headroom, or incorrect connector fit, which can damage the boards or cause unreliable operation.

Is this supply suitable for use outside North America?

Yes. The universal 100–240V AC input accepts mains voltage from any country. The appropriate IEC power cord for your local outlet standard is all that is needed.

How do I know if I need a replacement PSU?

If a Lightware system with MX-TPS2 boards shows no power to the TPS boards, or if the existing PSU shows physical damage, overheating, or fails output voltage verification, a replacement PSU-48VP2-220 is the correct service part to order.

Does this PSU support redundant power configurations?

Consult Lightware's MX2 chassis documentation for supported redundancy configurations. Ordering a spare PSU-48VP2-220 through Creation Networks ensures you have an identical replacement unit available for service emergencies.
