Higher Power. Longer Distance.
Superior Safety.
The Panduit Fault Managed Power System is a safe, efficient, reliable and practical power delivery system that will go the distance.
The Panduit Fault Managed Power System (FMPS) is a novel power delivery system that allows System Integrators to safely provide significant power, over long distances, to remote equipment. The Panduit FMPS is a Class 4 power system that is the first in the market to comply with the new UL 1400-1 Standard for a safer, more reliable, and easy-to-install power delivery system that provides substantial time and cost savings.
Safe to handle like Class 2 power, substantially more power and distance
Simple to install, startup, and troubleshoot
Centralized power for ease of backup, monitoring & control
Endless Remote Monitoring and control capabilities
Hot-Swappable Configuration for flexibility and upgradability
Efficient and sustainable power distribution with low cable losses, less copper, less material
The Panduit FMPS uses Pulse Current as its power delivery method. The Transmitter converts standard AC power into high voltage DC power, which is further converted into a Pulse Current waveform delivered over a Class 4 multi-conductor copper cable to the Receiver. The Receiver converts the pulse current waveform into +/- 48 VDC power, which can power multiple end devices.
With the ability to monitor faults, the system can safely use higher voltage to deliver power compared to low-voltage systems (Class 2). This allows the FMPS system to have all the safety benefits of low-voltage installations while delivering significantly more power over longer distances than Class 2 systems.
Deliver up to 600W per copper pair and up to 2 kilometers away. The Power and distance any system can deliver depend upon the wire size. Toggle between the charts below to see how much power the Panduit FMPS can deliver across a single pair of copper conductors and at what distance compared to Class 2 systems.
