Eltek is worth a look. Really solid stuff. Used them for awhile now.

If you want battery back-up, it'll probably take more than 3 RU, though.

I should have been more specific(Quite obvious by the responses I have been getting). I am looking for a rack mount 
rectifier type device for a remote site(Not a Datacenter/Colo) which outputs 48vdc & has an 120vac input. I would like 
it to be remote monitor-able via snmp(battery charge, running on batteries etc). I am looking for a runtime of about an 
hour at about 500w load. A built in battery would be great but an external battery would work as well-I would like the 
whole setup to be no more than 3ru.

The purpose this device will serve to allow remote monitoring of power conditions(Advance Power Outage Notification, 
Power Glitches etc) as well as power the connected devices for a short while in the event of a power glitch(Brown-Out, 
Power outages up to 30-45 minutes etc).

I hope this help clarify.


Thanks & Regards,

any recommendations?



Hi Mitchell,

That's not usually called an UPS. What you need is a Rectifier that feeds a -48 battery system. You connect your 
equipment the battery and make sure the rectifier system puts out enough wattage to both power the equipment and keep the 
battery topped off.

Try searching ebay for "rack rectifier"
