Lifesafety Power FPO250-2M8NLCE2 250W Managed Power Distribution Module
Overview
The FPO250-2M8NLCE2 is a managed power distribution module rated at 250W with eight individually fused outputs — each channel rated at 3A. Output selectable between 12VDC at 20A or 24VDC at 10A depending on your endpoint voltage requirements. This topology centralizes power delivery for mixed-voltage IP camera installations, access control readers, door locks, and auxiliary devices, eliminating point-of-failure risks inherent in daisy-chained wall-mount supplies across a facility.
Compatibility
The FPO250-2M8NLCE2 integrates into security architectures using standard 12VDC or 24VDC endpoints — including legacy IP cameras, PoE injectors for non-PoE-compatible devices, solenoid locks, and hardwired sensors. The 8-channel design with per-output fusing allows each powered device to operate independently; a fault on one channel does not cascade to others. When deploying a PoE switch alongside low-power analog or hardwired sensors, this supply isolates and protects the auxiliary load. Verify endpoint voltage tolerance (12V or 24V) before provisioning.
Installation Notes
Each of the 8 outputs is fused at 3A, limiting per-channel load to 36W at 12V or 72W at 24V. Calculate total connected load before deployment — if your installation requires more than 250W aggregate, consider multiple FPO250 units in parallel or a higher-capacity Lifesafety Power model. Input source must supply sufficient amperage to meet the selected output voltage: 20A capacity at 12V requires a 250W+ primary source; 24V at 10A requires comparable input headroom. Install in a climate-controlled cabinet; verify input voltage stability before wiring endpoints.
