The number of static devices on 5G networks is expected to exceed that of mobile users for the first time. This trend is driving changes to network architectures, speeding up the development and installation of new infrastructure.

Outdoor datacom and communication systems are usually located in sealed enclosures, limiting power supply choice. Designers of one 5G system required a 700W 48V conduction cooled power supply and asked TDK-Lambda for suggestions. The PFE700SA-48 baseplate cooled AC-DC power module was offered and accepted for the customer’s new design.

The PFE series of board mount power supplies accepts a wide range AC input, can operate at temperatures of 100°C and offers efficiency levels of up to 91%.
