Power Distribution Module

Functional description
Functional overview
Optional FPFC is a stand-alone outdoor general purpose Power Distribution Unit (PDU) with Class II
Over Voltage Protection, with 15 kA protection level. External overvoltage protection (using, for
instance, units of type FSEC or FSES) might be needed with RF parts if the PDU is located more than
ten meters away from the powered unit.
FPFC is a stand-alone external 19 inch wide 2U high outdoor module. Power distribution module FPFC
provides six outlets for Flexi Modules (Radio Modules, RRHs, or System Module), or any standard -48
V DC device at site. It can also be used, for example, at the top of the antenna mast to distribute power
to several RF Modules or Remote Radio Heads. It has one External alarm to indicate Over Voltage
Protection (OVP) device condition.
To provide more than six outputs, it is possible to chain two FPFCs using the same DC power source.

Interfaces
FPFC provides the following external interfaces:
• one DC input
• six DC outputs
◦ CH1-2: maximum fixed output 30A
◦ CH3-6: maximum adjustable output 4A/15A/30A
Additionally, each output has On/Off bar.
• one EAC connector
EAC connector (RJ45) informs about any abnormal situation, for example, when the
protective component(s) have been damaged. It indicates SPD alarm via two alarm signals
- Normal Open (NO) and Normal Closed (NC):
◦ NO
Alarm is active when the connection is closed. 5V alarm detection line is pulled
down during alarm: Active = 0, Inactive = 1.
