48V DC SOURCE OPTION, THEORY OF OPERATION
The 48VDC power option is designed using diodes inside on each DC power input
line behind the two external power connection terminals, so that the power from an external
source can only flow into the hub. This
allows the hub to operate only whenever
DC power is correctly applied to the two
inputs. It protects the hub from incorrect
DC input connections. An incorrect
polarity connection, for example, will neither effect the hub, nor its power supply internally,
nor will it blow the fuse in the internal power supply.

APPLICATIONS
Magnum DS8016 Dual-Speed Hubs are easily installed in a variety of applications
where 48 VDC power is used as the primary power source. The 48VDC power configuration
provides an Ethernet networking solution utilizing a special power supply in hubs with a
proven track record.
The solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry, where it is
common for facilities to operate on 48VDC power. Such companies include regular and
wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and other
communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services, such as
broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other facilities often use
a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power failure. It is also
frequently used for computer system backup, management and operations monitoring
equipment.
