Power Supplies Units

For any installer dealing with CCTV, satellite TV, or networking, reliable power supplies are the unsung heroes of a smooth, successful job.

It's easy to overlook them, but a faulty PSU can bring an entire system crashing down. That's why having a well-stocked inventory of various power supplies is crucial.

CCTV Power Supplies: The Foundation of Security

CCTV systems rely heavily on stable power. From individual cameras to complex multi-camera setups, having the right power supply is paramount. Consider stocking:

  • 12V DC Power Supplies: These are the workhorses for most CCTV cameras. Stocking a range of amperages (e.g., 1A, 2A, 5A) ensures you can handle different camera loads.
  • Centralized Power Distribution Boxes: For multi-camera installations, these boxes simplify wiring and provide surge protection.
  • PoE Injectors: Power over Ethernet (PoE) simplifies installations by delivering power and data through a single cable. Having a selection of PoE injectors on hand is essential for IP camera setups.

Multiswitch Power Supplies: Keeping Satellite Signals Strong

Satellite TV systems, especially those with multiple receivers, depend on multiswitches. These devices distribute signals, but they need reliable power. Ensure you stock:

  • Dedicated Multiswitch PSUs: These are designed to provide the specific voltage and current required by your multiswitches.
  • Inline Amplifiers with PSUs: For long cable runs, inline amplifiers boost signal strength, and they often require their own power supplies.

Inline Injectors: Versatility for Networking

Inline injectors, whether for PoE or other applications, offer flexible power solutions. Keep a variety of these on hand:

  • Passive PoE Injectors: For simpler PoE applications.
  • Active PoE Injectors: For devices requiring specific PoE standards (e.g., 802.3af, 802.3at).
  • DC Inline Injectors: For powering other low-voltage devices over cable runs.
