Higher Power. Longer Distance. Superior Safety.

What is Pulse Power?

Pulse Power is a novel power delivery system that allows System Integrators to safely provide significant power, over long distances, to remote equipment. It is a Class 4 power system designed to comply with UL Standard 1400 for a safer, more reliable, and easy-to-install power delivery system that provides substantial time and cost savings.

How Does Pulse Power Work?

Pulse Power uses Pulse Current as its power delivery method. The Source converts standard AC power into high voltage DC power, which is further converted into a Pulse Current waveform delivered over a standard multi-conductor copper cable to the Converter. The Converter converts the pulse current waveform into +/- 57 VDC power, which can power multiple end devices.

With the ability to monitor faults, the Pulse Power system can safely use higher voltage to deliver power compared to low-voltage systems (Class 2). This allows the Pulse Power system to have all the safety benefits of low-voltage installations while delivering significantly more power over longer distances than Class 2 systems.

How Much Power and Distance?

The Power and distance any system can deliver depend upon the wire size. Toggle between the charts below to see how much power the Pulse Power system can deliver across a single pair of copper conductors and at what distance compared to Class 2 systems.

Benefits of Pulse Power

Compared to traditional power...

Save up to 40% on material costs

Safe power distribution allows technicians to install Pulse Power without conduit, junction boxes, breaker panels, or permits for less costly and faster deployment than traditional power.

Lower your Opex with Centralized Power architecture

The architecture allows centralized power backup for more accessible and less expensive management. Centrally monitor and control your infrastructure to avoid costly site visits.

Compared to Class 2 power...

Save up to 60% on cable costs

Pulse Power delivers up to 6x the power and 30x the distance of a Class 2 system, reducing the number of copper pairs needed while using a thinner wire gauge.

Reduce headend space and cooling requirements

Pulse Power safely delivers power at size times the voltage of a Class 2 system and increases the power capacity per RU while reducing the power lost to heat with higher efficiency.

Where is Pulse Power Used?

The Power Supply unit takes standard AC power and converts it to VC. Power Supply units slide into the back of a source. Once inserted, they can be plugged into a wall outlet or a rack PDU using the provided cable. The pulse module converts DC power supplied by the Power Supply unit into Pulse Current (PC). Pulser modules slide into the front of the Source and deliver PC power to the Converter using 14-18 AWG twisted copper conductors. A converter takes PC power from a Pulser module and converts it to DC. Converters are wall mountable and distributed around the building to power multiple end devices.
