UNIPOWER modules at the heart of “silent” power shelf from Communications Audit

UNIPOWER modules at the heart of “silent” power shelf from Communications Audit

Designers and builders of rack-based systems are not generally space constrained when it comes to specifying the power source. Not for them the constant need to consider size, weight and heat dissipation and very few need to be concerned with other factors such as the electrical "noise" generated by the power supply itself. And, if noise is an issue, most designers will select a linear power supply to do the job.
