Power supply design

Power availability and consumption table

Power availability
Plixus MME total power supply	500 W (400 W available for CoCon ports)
CoCon AE-R power supply	220 W
One single CoCon port allows	100 W (engine ports or extension ports)

Maximum power consumption
71.98.0105 - 71.98.0118 71.98.0501 - 71.98.0515	Confidea F/T	5 W
71.98.0551	Confidea CS	2 W
71.98.2002	uniCOS F-MM7	12 W (1 USB port) + 2.5W when using second USB
71.98.2001	uniCOS F-MM10	15 W (1 USB port) + 2.5W when using second USB
71.98.2003	uniCOS T-MM10	15 W (1 USB port) + 2.5W when using second USB
	CoCon NEXT	7 W
71.98.2004	uniBOX	11.3 (1 USB port) + 2.5W when using second USB
71.98.2100	Lingua Interpreter Desk - Audio only	11 W
71.98.2101	Lingua Interpreter Desk - Video	12 W
71.98.2920	Video-IN box	6 W
71.98.2922	Video-OUT box	5.5 W
71.98.0033	Confidea WCAP	10 W
71.98.2051	CoCon Nameplate	4 W
Maximum distance between units		100 m (signal regenerated in every unit)
Minimum required voltage per unit		36 V

The general rule states that you should use a maximum 20 delegate units per branch / loop.

CoCon AE-R power supply

The CoCon AE-R does not have an internal power supply, however it does have two power connectors. By default you get one power supply together with the engine. You can extend this power supply with another as redundancy or when the system requires more power.

To check how many power supplies you require, consult the flowchart shown below.

Calculator tool

The Plixus Power Calculator Tool allows to you to validate a configuration in more detail. It takes into account the network cable lengths, power cable lengths and the different types of equipment.

The Plixus Power Calculator Tool can be easily found on the Televic Partner Domain.

Regardless of the calculator values, the maximum values above still apply. If more units, more power or a larger length is needed, then you need to create a separate branch using a Network Extender.
