Cisco PWR-RGD-AC-DC
Hgh AC/DC (88-300VDC/85-264VAC) Pwr Sup for CGR2010/CGS2520
Product Highlights
Utility substations, industrial plants, and remote grid sites demand networking equipment that stays online regardless of power conditions. The Cisco PWR-RGD-AC-DC is a 150-watt rugged power supply module engineered specifically for the Cisco CGR 2010 Connected Grid Router and CGS 2520 Connected Grid Switch, and is also compatible with the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3010 Series.
Designed as a hot-plug, redundant plug-in module, the PWR-RGD-AC-DC accepts a wide input voltage range — 85–264 VAC (50/60 Hz) or 88–300 VDC — making it ideal for environments where power sources vary or where both AC and high-voltage DC feeds are available. This flexibility eliminates the need to stock separate AC and DC power supplies, simplifying procurement and sparing strategies.
The module's rugged construction supports operation across an extended temperature range of –40°F to 140°F (–40°C to 60°C) with 5–95% non-condensing humidity tolerance, meeting the demanding environmental requirements of energy substations, transportation hubs, and outdoor industrial enclosures. Its hot-swappable, redundant architecture lets field technicians replace or add a power module without interrupting network services — a critical capability for always-on grid communication networks.
Features & Benefits
Wide-Range AC/DC Input
The PWR-RGD-AC-DC accepts 85–264 VAC at 47–63 Hz and 88–300 VDC, covering virtually every high-voltage power source found in utility and industrial facilities. A single SKU handles both AC and DC feeds, reducing inventory complexity and ensuring you always have the right supply on hand.
Hot-Plug Redundant Operation
Engineered as a hot-plug, redundant module, this power supply can be inserted or removed while the host platform remains operational. Paired with a second unit, it provides 1+1 power redundancy — ensuring uninterrupted service even during a supply failure or scheduled maintenance window.
Rugged Industrial Construction
Built for harsh environments, the module operates across a wide temperature range of –40°F to 140°F (–40°C to 60°C) and tolerates 5–95% non-condensing humidity. This makes it suitable for outdoor cabinets, utility substations, and industrial enclosures where standard IT power supplies would fail.
Compact Plug-in Form Factor
At just 1.58 × 7 × 5 inches (4 × 17.8 × 12.7 cm) and 2.55 lb (1.15 kg), the module slides into the dedicated power bay of the CGR 2010 or CGS 2520 chassis. Its compact footprint preserves valuable rack or DIN-rail space in space-constrained field deployments.
Deployment Scenarios
Utility Substation Networking
Power substations often provide high-voltage DC bus feeds alongside standard AC mains. The PWR-RGD-AC-DC's dual AC/DC input capability lets it draw from whichever source is available, ensuring the CGR 2010 or CGS 2520 stays online to support SCADA, teleprotection, and grid automation traffic.
Industrial Plant Floor Communications
Manufacturing and process-control environments expose equipment to temperature extremes, vibration, and electrical noise. This rugged power supply's extended operating range and industrial-grade construction keep connected grid routers and switches powered reliably on the plant floor.
Remote or Outdoor Cabinet Deployments
Field cabinets at pipeline monitoring stations, rail trackside enclosures, or renewable energy sites often lack climate control. The PWR-RGD-AC-DC's –40°C to 60°C operating range and hot-swap redundancy ensure continuous network uptime without requiring HVAC infrastructure.
