Altronix R615DC616CB220 16-Output Rack-Mount DC Power Supply

Overview

The Altronix R615DC616CB220 is a 2U rack-mount DC power supply designed for international and 220VAC infrastructure deployments where you need centralized, individually protected power for up to sixteen CCTV cameras, heaters, or video accessories. Running on 220VAC/50–60Hz input, it delivers 6–15VDC at up to 6A total output current across all sixteen channels — making it the right unit for surveillance racks in facilities that operate on European or international power grids. Each output carries PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) auto-resettable protection, so a single shorted camera won't take down neighboring devices or require a technician to manually reset a fuse. If you're centralizing camera power in a rack environment and need per-port fault isolation without manual fuse replacement, the R615DC616CB220 is built for that workflow.

The unit fits into any Altronix rack power distribution line and integrates naturally into rack-dense surveillance backrooms alongside NVRs, switches, and patch panels. Browse the full security power supplies category to compare channel counts and input voltage options across the Altronix family.

Key Features

• 16 PTC Auto-Resettable Outputs: Each of the sixteen outputs is independently protected by a PTC device that limits current and resets automatically once a fault clears — no blown fuses, no service calls to reset individual ports. In a rack with a full load of cameras, this saves meaningful labor when an output trips during commissioning or a cable fault.
• 6–15VDC Adjustable Output Voltage: The output voltage is adjustable across a 6–15VDC range, giving you flexibility to match the supply to camera or device specs that differ between manufacturers. A camera rated at 12VDC and a heater rated at 9VDC can share the same rack unit if the supply is configured correctly for your device mix — though note the total 6A output budget must cover all active channels simultaneously.
• 0.375A Per-Device / 2.5A Max Per Output: The per-device allocation of 0.375A is sized for low-draw analog and IP cameras. The 2.5A per-output ceiling matters if you're concentrating load — a PTZ or heated enclosure drawing near that ceiling will consume the current budget of roughly six standard camera channels. Plan your load distribution before assigning high-draw devices.
• 220VAC Input @ 0.8A Draw: Designed specifically for 220VAC/50–60Hz mains, this unit draws only 0.8A from the line — a minimal panel footprint. The 176VA AC input requirement fits comfortably on a standard 20A 220VAC circuit with ample headroom for other rack equipment. Do not attempt to run this unit on 110VAC infrastructure — it is not a dual-voltage supply.
• Filtered and Electronically Regulated Outputs: The supply actively filters and regulates each output, which matters in environments with noisy power — near industrial equipment, HVAC systems, or shared panels. Unregulated supplies introduce ripple that degrades analog video quality and can trigger false triggers on motion analytics. Regulated outputs avoid that.
• Short Circuit and Thermal Overload Protection: Beyond per-port PTC fusing, the supply includes thermal overload protection at the unit level. In enclosed rack environments where ambient temperatures approach the 49°C operating ceiling, this prevents catastrophic failure. The spec sheet notes to allow ½U of ventilation clearance above and below — plan that into your rack U-count before ordering.
• 16 Individual Power LEDs + Illuminated Master Breaker: Each output has a dedicated status LED so you can verify per-camera power at a glance without pulling cables or using a meter. The illuminated master disconnect with manual reset provides a clean, visible indicator of the overall supply state — useful during commissioning or a controlled power-down sequence.
• Removable Terminal Blocks with Locking Screw Flange: The removable terminal block design allows you to pre-wire and test a block off-unit, then seat it into the chassis during final installation. The locking screw flange prevents accidental pullout from vibration — a detail that matters in rack environments with cooling fans or nearby HVAC vibration.
• 2U Standard EIA 19
