By combining the unit with products from Alpha’s eLimiter™ family, the Aggregator meets the requirements for NEC Class 2 safety, enabling service providers to use conventional cable to remotely power the equipment. Class 2 compliance eliminates the need for conduit, licensed electricians and remote batteries, significantly improving the business case for the service provider.

The Aggregator can terminate up to four (4) or eight (8) NEC Class 2 circuits, combining them into a single 48V bulk output of up to 400 or 800 Watts. The unit is extremely compact, and can be either rack or wall mounted. It is a true front access device with all the user connections residing on the front face plate of the unit.
