Summary

This Recommendation specifies the direct current (DC) interface between the power feeding system and ICT equipment connected to it. It also describes normal and abnormal voltage ranges, and immunity test levels for ICT equipment to maintain the stability of telecommunication and data communication services. The specified interface is operated from a DC power source of up to 400 V to allow increased power consumption and equipment power density, in order to obtain higher energy efficiency and reliability with less material usage than using a lower voltage such as -48 VDC or AC UPS power feeding solutions.
