Any isolated 48V supply works,  just use the + wire for your return and the
- for your -48v.

I'm fond of the meanwell hlg supplies.

The only gotcha is that some supplies will tie the negative wire to the
ground pin on the ac plug, forcing it to be a +48v supply.  You can use an
ohmmeter to verify that this connection doesn't exist. Measure from the
ground pin to the - output without the supply powered on.  Shouldn't show
continunity.
