STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP ENTERASYS

The ENTERASYS STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP is a robust, hot-swappable redundant power supply manufactured by Enterasys Networks (now part of Extreme Networks). This 150-watt RPS module is specifically engineered to provide high-availability power redundancy for compatible Enterasys stackable and standalone switches, ensuring continuous network operation.

Application Scenarios:

In a financial institution's trading network, even a momentary switch failure could result in significant financial loss. An ENTERASYS STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP is installed alongside a main power supply in a C3G series switch. When the primary power supply unexpectedly fails due to a power surge, the STK-RPS-150PS instantly and seamlessly takes over the full load without any packet loss or network interruption, ensuring zero downtime for critical trading applications and maintaining business continuity.

Technical Principles and Innovative Values:

· •Innovation Point 1: True Hot-Swap N+1 Redundancy. The STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP is designed for true high availability. It operates in a load-sharing mode with the primary power supply. In a failure event, the transition is bumpless, and the faulty unit can be replaced while the system remains fully operational, achieving exceptional system uptime.

· •Innovation Point 2: Intelligent Load Monitoring and Management. The RPS continuously monitors both its own status and that of the primary supply. It provides active status reporting to the switch's management system, allowing network administrators to proactively plan maintenance before a potential failure causes an outage.

· •Innovation Point 3: Universal Auto-Sensing Input. The power supply features a wide input voltage range (100-240 VAC), allowing it to be deployed globally without manual configuration or jumpers. This simplifies deployment and reduces the risk of misconfiguration in diverse electrical environments.

Application Cases and Industry Value:

A large e-commerce data center experienced occasional switch reboots due to unstable power quality, which impacted website availability during peak sales periods. By equipping their core distribution switches with the ENTERASYS STK-RPS-150PS P0973BP in an N+1 configuration, the data center eliminated all power supply-related outages. During a subsequent utility power glitch, the RPS modules maintained uninterrupted operation, preventing an estimated $500,000 in potential lost revenue and solidifying the company's reputation for reliability.
