| We are opening our new branch and also making new setup but the problem is this that there is no place fo AC voltage(its been used fully by others) so they are saying you have to use DC voltage .
We will be using cisco 3640 routers & AS 5300 . The DC/converter box is about 50000 $ (this is what i have been told ) so anybody know any other cheap solution or anyother cisco box for that which will solve the problem ?

| How about a long extension cord and a power strip? Im assuming you mean no power outlet near where you want to put the router, right? | |

| Well guys they ask from me a cisco box i dono whats that but i gues so thats a kind of converter or you can say it power supply in other words . In that whole building there is no AC voltage . Now what do you think ? | |

Generators create A/C voltage because an alternator is being used to transform physical energy into electrical current.
haseeb_eng, your guess is as good as ours. You know the building over there better than we do. Without 110V/60Hz A/C, I don't think that any option will be a GOOD one. | |

Here are some possible answers to your problem.

If you need more information, you can contact these manufacturers or do a search for "dc/ac converters", and you'll have more options. When you contact them, have information regarding your DC voltage, what are the power rquirements of your Cisco equipment, how many routers, switches, etc you are going to connect. I believe they will suggest what you could use to solve your problem. Cisco surely will have suggestions regarding what you should use.
Hope it helped. hdm | |

It gives 4 dc outputs as well as ac and is suitable for the 3640 - though you'll still need an ac input for this box!
It's also not recommended as a primary power supply, though I currently have a Nortel (I know!!) customer running of an RPS using AC mains provided by a UPS until we get normal mains power for the data centre (long story).
From your original post you state that the ac is all being used by others??? I have to agree with Dude - unplug one of the other power users stick a 2 or 3 way power block in and run an extension off it - or simply get an electrician in and get him to run another spur in - it'll probably be quicker than waiting for Cisco to deliver the part.
HTH. |
