Benefits for the integrator and the user
The MuxLab 500993 power supply simplifies any AV or network installation. By not relying on a switch's PoE capability, it offers complete flexibility in placing MuxLab AV over IP extenders precisely where they are needed. The interchangeable plug system reduces the need to maintain multiple power supplies in inventory for international projects, optimizing costs and logistics. The safety provided by the locking connector ensures trouble-free operation, minimizing service calls due to faulty connections or accidental disconnections.
Use cases
This power supply is the ideal solution for individually powering a variety of MuxLab devices. It is especially useful in installations where the network switch lacks PoE ports or when its power budget is exceeded. It is compatible with models such as the MuxLab AV over IP extenders 500755, 500755-AMP-TX, 500756, 500757, 500758, and 500759, ensuring that these devices receive a stable and reliable power supply to transmit high-quality audio and video signals over the network.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I use this power supply with devices from other brands?
- Although designed specifically for MuxLab equipment, it may be compatible with other devices requiring a 5VDC input, up to 2.6A, and using the same type of physical connector. However, it is always recommended to verify the polarity and specifications of the device being powered to avoid damage.
- What advantages does the locking connector offer?
- The locking or screw connector prevents the cable from disconnecting due to accidental tugs, vibrations, or movement. This is essential in professional environments such as control rooms, rack installations, or digital signage, where a disconnection can disrupt critical services.
- Do I need any tools to change the plugs?
- No, the interchangeable plugs (US, UK, EU) are designed to be easily snapped on and off without any additional tools.
