AC / DC Power Adapters

Individual networking devices like Ethernet switches, media converters, and serial servers need a dependable power source. AC-DC converters take current from an external power source and convert it to different specifications needed by various electronic or battery-powered devices. Our AC to DC power adapters and accessories support our LNX, LMX, STE, STW, STM, and FCU product families. These power adapters are commercial-grade quality and ideal for the lab, IT closets, computer rooms, and building interiors. We also offer AC adapters, such as the 170635-000, for cars that plug  into the 12-volt DC auxiliary power outlet (or cigarette lighter socket). If you need a more robust power supply, consider our full range of DIN-rail mount supplies that range from 15 to 480 watts and offer 12V, 24V or 48V outputs to ensure that your devices are receiving the necessary power.

A Variety of Voltage Outputs

It is important to choose AC / DC power adapters that match your device’s input voltage and current. Ignoring to do this could damage your device when it detects an overvoltage or overheats. At best, a disconnect between your AC adapter’s and device’s ratings will lower the lifespan of your device. Our power adapters come in a broad range of DC voltage outputs and wattages. The PA-60-48 adapter, for example, provides 60 watts and 48 volts for Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches like the LNP and LMP families. It’s also a good choice for our PoE media converters. For additional power output, go with the 120-watt PA-120-48. If you are looking for AC /  DC power adapters with more voltage or wattage range, the 170751-000 will answer your needs. The power adapters can accept an input of 100 to 240 VAC and output VDC. 

We recommend the PA-STX AC to DC converter to power the STE, STW, LNX, and IMC network device families from Antaira Technologies. It accepts 100-240VAC and outputs 12 VDC providing it with short circuit, current overload, over voltage, and over-temperate protections. Additionally, it comes in Euro or USA plug styles and has convenient bare wire ends that conveniently fit into the power terminal blocks of these devices.
