I went with Meanwell SDR for most stuff.  I think the thing that sold me was self recovery from fault conditions.

A lot of power supplies detect a fault and shut off, but then you have to unplug and plug them back in to recover.

Anyone routinely using a reboot switch to "fix" problems might be surprised how often the reboot isn't really for the network device, but because the cheapo power brick is cranky about an over voltage, over current, or over temp.  Good power supply makes the network happier.

*Subject:* [AFMUG] Mean Well NDR 120-24 & NDR 120-48 for powering Packetflux Rack Injector?

Last night I replaced yet another Amazon special 29.5V power supply that was feeding out packetflux equipment. These are defiantly a weak link and something I need to pull out of the field and replace.

I spent some time today digging into the MeanWell product line and came up with two options to power our original Packetflux sites along with the ones now running the rack injectors.

I need but 28V DC and 48V DC at sites feed from 120VAC

I am considering going with the Mean Well NDR 120-24 and Mean Well NDR 120-48 units. Does anyone have experience with these good or bad? Just looking for something that more stable and reliable at this point.

Thanks,

Brandon
