Altronix T2RM5F8ADQ Rack Mount Power Distribution Module

Overview

The Altronix T2RM5F8ADQ is a 1U rack-mountable power distribution module designed to efficiently manage and distribute 12VDC power to up to eight surveillance devices. It addresses the common deployment challenge of consolidating power for multiple cameras, access control readers, or other low-voltage equipment within a central rack, simplifying wiring and improving system reliability. The module includes individual PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable fuses for each output, providing overcurrent protection and preventing a single device failure from impacting the entire system. This unit is specifically engineered for environments requiring organized and protected power distribution, such as head-end equipment racks in commercial security installations.

Compatibility

This module is compatible with any 12VDC powered surveillance or access control equipment requiring up to 10A total system current. It is designed to integrate seamlessly into standard 19-inch rack systems. Specific compatible Altronix power supply enclosures include the AL1024ULACM, AL1024ULAXCM, AL1024ULHBSERIES, and AL1024ULBB series, among others. It is suitable for powering devices such as IP cameras, network switches, video encoders, and access control panels that operate within the specified voltage and current limits.

Installation Notes

Mounting requires a standard 19-inch rack. Input power connections should be made to the designated terminals, ensuring correct polarity. Each of the eight outputs is individually fused with a PTC rated at 5A maximum per output, providing overcurrent protection. The total system current draw must not exceed 10A. Ensure proper ventilation around the rack to prevent overheating, as the unit dissipates heat during operation.
