Broadband Power Equipment for CATV and Telecom Networks

Dependable power for your network infrastructure is foundational. At Multilink, we understand that uptime for your outside plant (OSP) is of the highest importance.

Our broadband telecom power equipment is designed to meet the ongoing demands of CATV and related telecom networks. We power everything from remote fiber distribution units to essential headend components. Whether expanding existing infrastructure or designing new deployments, our CATV power supply solutions contribute to uninterrupted service.

What Is Broadband Power Equipment?

Broadband power equipment refers to the necessary components for managing and delivering electrical power across broadband and CATV network infrastructures. This includes primary CATV power supply units, which convert utility power, along with supporting elements such as rectifiers, inverters and intelligent monitoring systems.

Our equipment features integrated backup power solutions to ensure service continuity. Multilink's mission is to minimize your network downtime, shield sensitive electronics from environmental hazards and power fluctuations and encourage the longevity of your outdoor investments.

The Need for a Broadband Battery Backup

A reliable broadband battery backup system prevents a minor service interruption from creating a more serious network failure. For telecommunications providers, investing in robust backup power is a strategic move to safeguard service, customer satisfaction and your bottom line.

Scenarios Requiring Backup Power

Multilink is here for you with solutions that prepare your telecommunications company for:

• Power outages: Disruptions from weather or grid failures demand backup systems to keep your network running. Ensure that subscribers remain connected when it matters most.
• Remote and field deployments: Some network systems must be installed in areas with unstable power. Battery backup power enables these isolated installations to operate safely and consistently.
• Locations where dispatches are costly: Minimizing costly field visits for power-related issues is key to your success. Reliable backup power extends operational windows, reducing the need for urgent site visits.

Considerations for Power Solutions

When specifying your backup power solution, evaluate the following parameters:

• Runtime needs: Determine the duration that your network components must operate without primary power access to understand the required backup capacity.
• Environmental placement: Outdoor deployments need solutions to withstand extreme temperatures, humidity and other environmental stressors at play.
• Maintenance expectations: Consider the ease of maintenance and battery lifespan. Multilink offers Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, known for their extended cycle life and trusted performance.

CATV Power Supply Equipment Characteristics to Note

Selecting the right CATV power supply equipment demands attention to detail. Prioritize aspects such as:

• Reliable output: Consistent and stable power delivery is essential for sensitive broadband and CATV infrastructure.
• Compatibility: Ensure seamless integration with your existing cabinets, enclosures and network architecture.
• Safety features: Look for safeguards like overcurrent, overvoltage and temperature protection.
• Serviceability: Replaceable components and diagnostics simplify maintenance and reduce repair times.
• Integration simplicity: Straightforward installation and configuration minimize costs and accelerate network rollout.
• Network expansion possibilities: Choose systems that scale with your network for future growth.
