I can confirm as well the Ciena power supplies are isolated I have used the same ones on +24 and -48v. I have many of these installed.

A quick check with the multimeter shows the +/- terminals isolated from the ground.

Markings on the supply say 20-60VDC.   As long as you get polarity correct I believe they don’t care where the ground reference is.

Slim chance, but does anyone know if I can power a 3930 off of a +48VDC system?

The spec sheet says:  DC Input: -48, -36, +36, -24, +24 VDC (nominal)

Does it seem odd that it can accept -/+36 and 24, but not 48?

An AT&T tech installed a 3930 at one of our sites and wired it directly to our +48VDC ICT DC system, and it's working, but we don't have any other equipment (other than a MT) running off of this bus yet.  I'm worried that if we power something that isn't isolated (and expects +48VDC), we may release some smoke.

Should I just stick an isolated DC/DC converter in between the Ciena and our rectifier just to be safe?
