Lightware PSU2x10-200-12V Rack mountable power supply for Lightware interfaces - 91340024

Product Overview

The Lightware PSU2x10-200-12V is a rack-mountable dual-output power supply designed to power up to twenty Lightware interface devices from a single 1U rack unit. It delivers 12V DC at up to 200W total capacity across two independently fused output banks, providing centralized power distribution for Lightware TPS, UMX, HDMI extender, and switcher products installed in the same rack. The PSU2x10-200-12V simplifies power planning and reduces rack cabling complexity in professional AV installations.

Product Description

The PSU2x10-200-12V provides two output banks of ten 12V DC outputs each, for a total of twenty output ports. Each bank is independently fused, so a fault or overload on one bank does not affect the other, maintaining continuity of service for unaffected devices. The unit accepts universal AC input (100–240V AC), making it suitable for international installations without an external step-down transformer. Active power factor correction (PFC) ensures efficient AC-to-DC conversion and compliance with power quality standards. Status LED indicators on the front panel show power-good status for each bank, enabling quick visual confirmation of output health without test equipment. The unit is designed for 1U rack installation with a standard IEC power inlet, and output cables connect to Lightware interfaces using included DC barrel connectors. The PSU2x10-200-12V is the recommended power solution for centralizing supply to Lightware HDMI extenders, HDBaseT transmitters/receivers, and UMX switchers in equipment racks.

Key Features

• 20 x 12V DC Outputs — Two banks of ten outputs for centralized power distribution to up to twenty Lightware devices
• 200W Total Capacity — Sufficient headroom for full loads of Lightware TPS, UMX, and HDMI extender products
• Independently Fused Banks — Per-bank fusing isolates faults to prevent a single device failure from affecting all outputs
• Universal AC Input — Accepts 100–240V AC for use in international installations without separate step-down transformers
• Active Power Factor Correction — Improves conversion efficiency and meets commercial power quality requirements
• Front-Panel Status LEDs — Per-bank indicators provide immediate visual confirmation of output health
• 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor — Standard rack dimensions for clean integration into AV equipment racks
• IEC Power Inlet — Standard C14 inlet for compatibility with facility power cables in any region

Typical Applications

• Equipment racks housing multiple Lightware HDMI extenders, HDBaseT transmitters, and receivers requiring centralized 12V power
• Corporate AV head-end racks where power cable management and fault isolation are critical
• Rental and staging racks requiring a single power supply to feed many Lightware interface devices
• University AV equipment rooms with multiple distributed Lightware products on a shared rack
• Broadcast facility technical rooms requiring efficient, clean 12V distribution for AV signal processing equipment
• Permanent installation AV systems where a centralized PSU reduces individual wall-wart adapters and improves rack organization

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Lightware devices can the PSU2x10-200-12V power simultaneously?

The unit has 20 output ports. However, the practical number of devices depends on the power draw of each device. With 200W total capacity and typical Lightware interface devices drawing 5–15W each, the unit can realistically power 15–20 devices simultaneously within the rated output budget.

Are the two output banks electrically isolated from each other?

The banks share the same DC bus but are independently fused. A blown fuse on one bank will cut power to that bank's ten outputs without affecting the other bank. For full electrical isolation, separate power supplies would be required.

Can I use this PSU to power non-Lightware 12V devices?

The PSU2x10-200-12V outputs standard 12V DC via 2.1mm barrel connectors. It can technically power any 12V device using the same connector type, provided total load does not exceed 200W. However, Lightware validates this unit specifically for its own product line.

Is a power cable included, and what type of AC connector does it use?

The unit includes an IEC C14 AC inlet. A region-appropriate IEC C13 power cable should be provided by the installer or purchased separately for the target country's outlet type.

What happens if the total load exceeds 200W?

Overcurrent protection will trigger on the overloaded bank, cutting output to that bank's devices. The unit is designed to protect itself and connected equipment from sustained overload conditions.

Can this PSU replace individual wall adapters that ship with Lightware products?

Yes. The PSU2x10-200-12V is designed specifically to replace individual wall adapters for Lightware devices in rack installations, consolidating power distribution and improving cable management. Verify the output barrel connector matches each device's input specification before substituting.

Does this power supply include output cables, or must they be purchased separately?

Output DC cables are included for connecting to Lightware interfaces. Contact Creation Networks to confirm cable compatibility with specific device models before installation.
