The DPX Disconnect and Junction Box serves as a connection point to handle the incoming fault managed power pairs and outgoing connections to the DPX 1350W Downconverter.

The Class 4 rated DPX Disconnect and Junction Box has a built-in surge suppressor that is monitored by the system controller and provides primary protection for the DPX 1350W Downconverter against lightning strikes and other over voltage conditions. The emergency power off switch integrated into the enclosure provides a disconnect mechanism to interrupt power to all other downstream devices.

Distributed power transport architecture enables operators to deploy their network faster by eliminating the need to have AC utility power at each small cell location. At a central location, the central power hub converts the incoming AC power to fault managed power which is transported over a hybrid or copper only cable to a disconnect box and then to a down converter device located approximately 6000 ft away. This reduces installation and operating expenses, and provides flexibility related to site selection for the installation of the remote communications equipment.
