Re: Telecom Netonix DC powered switch - looking for input

Sorry I missed this forum before!
We have this problem all the time, as we generally build our sites with plus-ground, or co-locate on larger sites who always are "plus-ground".
The reason for this is that we use industrial standard 48V-rectifiers/ battery systems (supplied by the Norwegian Eltek.com), and the fact that we use a lot of licensed radio links like NEC, SIAE, NERA and so on.
All these radio links are built to telecom industry standard, that is "plus-ground" DC systems.
Until now we had to use a dc-dc converter feeding each switch to get galvanic insulation.
Our latest project had 25 sites, each with two WS-12-DC and each of them with a converter.
Not ideal, to say at least!
We love the new 26-IDC, it's just what the doctor ordered.
And we really would love to see a WS-12-IDC.
And could you please have a second thought about those DC terminals?
They are just fine for lab and development work, but it screams MECANO to everyone looking at our racks, and I get a bit embarrassed when trade colleagues comments those terminals
Keep up the good work, and give us more IDC switches.
Why not make all DC switches IDC? Just a thought.
