The Gefen Power Rack 58

The Gefen Power Rack 58 is the perfect solution for cleaning up a messy rack
space fi lled with individual power supply cables from many 5-Volt A/V devices.
The Power Rack eliminates the need for multiple power supplies, centralizes
power distribution, and saves space.

How It Works

The Gefen Power Rack 58 is rack mounted in a single 1U rack space near up to
eight 5V DC / 2.5A rated devices. The 24-Volt power supply of the Power Rack
58 is connected to a wall outlet or power strip and a red LED appears on the front
panel, indicating successful power-on. 5-Volt power cables run from the rear of
the Power Rack to the power input of each 5-Volt powered device.

On the front side of the Power Rack 58, there are 1 Power LED (red) and 8x
dual-state (green/red) LEDs, one for each power feed that is connected to an
external device. A Green LED color indicates normal power output at 5V ±0.3V. If
the output voltage of this feed is below or above this voltage range, the dual-state
LED turns red to indicate an error condition.

Note: All power outputs have a grounding wire that is connected back to the
Power Rack for maximum safety when powering external devices.
