ZeeVee ZyPer 12V Power Center for up to 8 Encoders, Decoders,1 RU - Z4KPWRCTR12

Product Overview

The ZeeVee Z4KPWRCTR12 is a 1RU rack-mount ZyPer4K power center providing centralized 12V DC power distribution for up to 8 ZyPer encoder and decoder endpoints. Designed for ZyPer4K AV-over-IP installations, this rack power center for AV-over-IP endpoints eliminates the need for individual power supplies at each device, simplifying rack assembly and cable management. It is compatible with all ZyPer encoder and decoder models requiring 12V DC power.

Product Description

The Z4KPWRCTR12 centralizes power delivery for ZyPer encoder and decoder endpoints that are rack-mounted using the ZyPer rack mount kits. Rather than deploying individual power bricks or wall adapters for each endpoint, this 1RU unit distributes 12V DC to up to 8 devices via 3-foot locking DC cables included with the unit. Rack ears are included for standard 19-inch rack installation. Centralizing power in this manner simplifies troubleshooting, reduces cable clutter, and supports cleaner rack builds for professional AV installations. The locking cable connectors prevent accidental disconnection in vibration-prone or high-traffic equipment rooms. This power center is appropriate for any ZyPer4K installation using fiber or non-PoE endpoints, including the ZyPer4K-XR fiber encoder and decoder variants.

Key Features

• 1RU Rack-Mount Form Factor — Fits standard 19-inch equipment racks alongside ZyPer encoder/decoder rack kits.
• 8-Port 12V DC Output — Powers up to 8 ZyPer encoder or decoder endpoints from a single rack unit.
• Locking DC Cables Included — Eight 3-foot locking 12V DC cables prevent accidental disconnection.
• Rack Ears Included — Ready for immediate 19-inch rack installation without additional hardware.
• Universal ZyPer Compatibility — Compatible with all ZyPer encoder and decoder models requiring 12V DC power.

Typical Applications

• ZyPer4K-XR fiber encoder/decoder rack installations
• ZyPer4K endpoint racks in equipment rooms and IDFs
• Any professional AV rack using multiple ZyPer endpoints requiring 12V DC power

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ZyPer devices does the Z4KPWRCTR12 power?

The Z4KPWRCTR12 is compatible with all ZyPer encoder and decoder models that use 12V DC power, including ZyPer4K-XR fiber variants (Z4KENCFSXR, Z4KENCFLXR, Z4KDECFSXR) and other non-PoE ZyPer endpoints.

Are the DC cables included or sold separately?

Eight 3-foot locking 12V DC cables are included with the Z4KPWRCTR12. No additional cable purchase is required for a standard 8-device installation.

Can I use this power center with PoE-powered ZyPer copper encoders and decoders?

The copper PoE variants (such as the Z4KENCC3XR and Z4KDECC3XR) draw power from the network switch via PoE and do not require a 12V DC supply. The Z4KPWRCTR12 is primarily applicable to fiber variants and any other ZyPer endpoints requiring 12V DC at the rack.

What rack space does the Z4KPWRCTR12 occupy?

The Z4KPWRCTR12 is a 1RU unit. Plan for 1U of rack space in your equipment rack design.

Do I need one power center per rack mount kit?

The Z4KPWRCTR12 supports up to 8 endpoints. The Z4KRACKC1 rack kit holds up to 8 encoders/decoders, making a 1:1 pairing appropriate. For the 10-unit Z4KRACKC2, you may need an additional power center or supplemental power source for the remaining 2 units.
