The DPS-Series of redundant power supplies (RPS) provide protection from damaging surges, spikes and inadvertent failure of the internal power-supply of an Ethernet switch, which can result in the shutdown of that switch, the devices attached to its ports, or an entire network. The DPS-500A and DPS-700 redundant power supplies (RPS) perfectly compliment D-Link’s Ethernet and Gigabit switches supporting full output power for the switch and maximizing the power availability of the switching device. Each D-Link RPS is equipped with an integrated detection circuit that continuously monitors the switch’s internal power supply. In the event of a power interruption, the redundant power supply is immediately triggered so that the LAN switch and its connected devices can continue providing service. This results in a more reliable network infrastructure and protects the network from going down due to the failure of a single network device power supply.
