Power supply for telecom and computing applications in CRPS form factor

Advanced Energy has released a new 48V DC-input power supply intended for compute, storage and networking applications. The new Artesyn CSU2000ADC-3 joins the company’s CSU series of AC/DC power conversion solutions and expands its product portfolio to satisfy data centre power supply requirements for telecommunications, data communications, cloud infrastructure and enterprise IT customers.

The new device has 48V input and 12V output at 2000W. This new DC-DC power supply is claimed to be the industry’s only 2kW carrier-grade power supply, offering unmatched scalability and a path for power capacity flexibility while providing unique carrier demands for input cabling. It provides an industry-standard CRPS form factor, making it easy for customers to design into their systems. Created to serve a broad range of applications in traditional AC data centres, DC telco central offices, and increasingly-common DC data centres, the device provides universal usage over these three environments, which lessens customers’ development time, cost and risk.

“Our customers want a one-stop partner for power conversion solutions, and this introduction of a 48-volt DC-input power supply is the next important milestone in building our complete CSU series portfolio,” said Brian Korn, vice president and general manager of data centre computing, telecom and network products, Advanced Energy. “Our new CSU2000ADC-3 provides our customers with the predictable performance and future-proof system designs they’ve come to expect from AE.”
