Power backup kit for 17 PoE devices BCS model 8315 in 5U RACK enclosure

The BCS power backup kit model 8315 is a 5U RACK enclosure solution that provides buffered power distribution for up to 17 PoE devices. Designed for installation in server racks and network cabinets, this kit supplies stable Power over Ethernet to networked devices during mains interruptions and supports orderly shutdown procedures. It is intended for professional installations where centralized PoE power continuity and distribution are required.

Advantages

The kit combines a compact 5U RACK form factor with centralized backup capability, reducing the need for multiple individual power units. It ensures uninterrupted PoE delivery for connected devices during short-term power losses and simplifies wiring by consolidating PoE outputs in a single rack-mounted module. The design supports common PoE-powered equipment types and integrates with existing rack infrastructure to maintain network device availability.

Suitable for

• Surveillance camera systems in server rooms and distribution closets
• Access control panels and door controllers requiring PoE
• VoIP phones and endpoints in enterprise telephony deployments
• Small to medium network installations with centralized rack-mounted equipment

Key specifications

• RACK enclosure height: 5U
• PoE outputs: supports up to 17 PoE-powered devices
• Function: buffered DC power distribution for PoE devices with backup capability
• Form factor: rack-mountable unit suitable for standard server racks and network cabinets
• Application areas: CCTV, access control, VoIP and other PoE-enabled equipment

How to use

Install the 5U RACK unit into a standard 19-inch rack or cabinet and secure it according to rack mounting guidelines. Connect the mains power input and the PoE outputs to the corresponding network devices using appropriate Ethernet cabling. Configure any connected network equipment as required; the kit provides buffered power so devices remain powered during brief mains interruptions and can be shut down in a controlled manner when necessary. Follow standard safety procedures and rack ventilation requirements during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use high-quality shielded Ethernet cables for PoE runs in environments with electrical interference, plan load distribution across the PoE outputs to avoid exceeding device power budgets, and place the unit in a ventilated rack position to ensure proper cooling. For extended outage tolerance, combine this kit with appropriately rated external battery modules or an upstream uninterruptible power supply suited to the total connected load.
