Altronix VERTILINE63TDV 16-Output 24VDC Rack-Mount Power Supply
Overview
The Altronix VERTILINE63TDV is a rack-mount, 220VAC-input power distribution unit engineered for large-scale surveillance installations that demand reliable, individually fused 24VDC power across up to 16 devices. At 16A total output capacity and 2.5A PTC fusing per circuit, it is sized for multi-camera, multi-controller deployments where a single tripped circuit should never cascade into a site-wide outage. If you are running a high-density camera array on a European or international facility — or any site wired for 220VAC — this is the unit to spec.
The Altronix power distribution line is a mainstay in commercial security infrastructure, and the VERTILINE63TDV fits squarely in the rack-mounted segment of that catalog. The 1U-friendly 1.625-inch height keeps your rack footprint minimal even when powering a full 16-device headend.
Key Features
- 16 Independent 24VDC Outputs: Each of the 16 output circuits operates at 24VDC, the standard for most professional PTZ cameras, access control panels, and intercom units. Sixteen discrete outputs mean you can power a full camera row from a single unit without daisy-chaining or splitting — cleaner wiring, simpler troubleshooting.
- 16A Total Output Capacity: The 16A aggregate ceiling gives you an average of 1A per output at full load — workable for low-draw fixed cameras, but worth calculating carefully if you are mixing in high-current PTZ or pan-tilt heads. Budget your load per circuit, not just the aggregate, to stay inside the 2.5A PTC per output.
- 2.5A PTC Self-Resetting Fuses: Polymeric positive temperature coefficient (PTC) fuses on every output trip on overload and reset automatically once the fault clears — no fuse replacement, no service call for a nuisance trip. In a 16-device deployment, that matters: one shorted camera does not take your technician to the rack.
- 220VAC / 50-60Hz Input: Designed for 220VAC mains at 3A draw, making it the correct choice for international deployments, EU-standard facilities, or US industrial sites wired at 240VAC. If your facility runs 120VAC, this is not the unit — check the standard VERTILINE63 for North American input voltage.
- 197 BTU/Hr Heat Dissipation: At full load, the unit dissipates 197 BTU/Hr. That is a meaningful number for enclosed rack cabinets — factor it into your thermal budget, especially if you are stacking multiple power supplies in a sealed headend enclosure.
- Compact 1U Rack Profile: At 1.625
