RGB Spectrum 860 11989 – CAT-Linx Replacement Power Supply

Product Overview

The RGB Spectrum 860 11989 is the replacement power supply for CAT-Linx 2 and CAT-Linx 3 extender endpoints, rated by RGB Spectrum at 2A @ 12VDC. It is the part to order when a supply fails in service or when a spares kit is being built for a deployed extender population. Keeping one on the shelf turns a dead conference room display into a five-minute swap instead of a return authorisation. It is an accessory part number and carries no separate published datasheet.

Product Description

External power supplies are the most commonly replaced item in any distributed extender install, because they sit in furniture and behind displays where they take physical abuse. This part number is the RGB Spectrum replacement supply for CAT-Linx 2 and CAT-Linx 3 endpoints at 2A and 12VDC, so an integrator can restore a failed link without substituting an unverified third-party adapter. Using the manufacturer part also keeps the endpoint inside its warranty terms. RGB Spectrum publishes no datasheet, dimensional drawing or connector detail against this number, so the entry under Technical Specifications below reflects only what the price list states. In practice it is quoted alongside the endpoints it serves: the CAT-Linx 3 TX transmitter and CAT-Linx 3 RX receiver, and the higher-bandwidth CAT-Linx 3 Plus TX and CAT-Linx 3 Plus RX KVM extender pair. Note that the CAT-Linx 3 Plus endpoints publish a 12V 3A DC requirement while the CAT-Linx 3 endpoints publish 12V 1.5A DC, so confirm the correct supply for the specific endpoint model with Creation Networks before ordering. Where a link is powered from the opposite end over CATx, a single supply may serve both endpoints.

Key Features

• Manufacturer replacement part — Using the RGB Spectrum supply avoids the voltage and polarity risk of an unverified third-party adapter on a deployed endpoint.
• 2A at 12VDC — The RGB Spectrum price list records this output rating for the part number, which is the figure to check against the endpoint requirement.
• CAT-Linx 2 and 3 coverage — One spare part number serves two generations of extender endpoints, simplifying the spares inventory.
• Fast field restoration — A stocked supply turns a failed extender endpoint into a swap on site rather than a service call and a return.
• Low-cost spares strategy — Holding one supply per group of deployed extenders is inexpensive insurance against room downtime.
