Greetings NANOG'ers!

I have a small home lab which I mostly use for learning and testing. I'm likely to receive some gear that needs negative 48VDC (ie: positive ground). Mains is a typical 120VAC, 60Hz.

Can anyone recommend a power supply, reasonably priced, to go from 120VAC down to -48VDC@10Amps? Something that fits in a two post rack would be preferred, but not required.

Thanks, Mark

Mark, I'd recommend a Kepco PRR 48-22M. We have one in-office, used it for some -48VDC equipment (Adtran Total Access gear) that we tested in-office. Worked great, and can be found on eBay for under $400 -Bobby
