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. On 10/22/2020 9:31 AM, Mark Radabaugh wrote: A quick check with the multimeter shows the +/- terminals isolated from the ground. Markings on the supply say 20

Measure resistance between the ground terminal and the positive terminal and also between the ground terminal and the negative terminal.It should be very high - on the order of MegaOhms. It’s not an absolute test as there could be active circuit elements or diodes between the power and gr

Yes I believe they are isolated inputs, I have ten+ 3930's running on +48v On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 6:51 AM Josh Baird wrote: > 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

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 +48VD
