on page 12.

9.0  Connecting Power

The FPX6000 is compatible with the following power supplies:

•

A customer-provided 802.3bt-compliant switch will work to power the device via PoE.

•

Patton’s CL141E will power the device via PoE if the customer does not already have 
a suitable supply.

•

If PoE is not required, the customer can power the device with an existing 48-VDC 
(30-W) input or use Patton’s PS-03671H1-021, which converts wall outlet AC to the 
48 VDC (30 W) the device requires.

Do the following:

1. If you are powering the device with PoE, go to step 2. Otherwise, connect the power 

supply cable to the 

48 VDC at 30 W

 port (see 

figure 10

 on page 11 for the Transmit-

ter or 

figure 11

 on page 12 for the Receiver), then go to step 3.

2. Connect the Dante Network Ethernet/PoE cable to the 

ETH1

 port (see 

figure 10

 on 

page 11 for the Transmitter or 

figure 11

 on page 12 for the Receiver).

3. After at least one minute for the device to power up and initialize, verify that the green 

Power LED (see 

figure 9

 on page 10) is lit. Refer to 

table 1

 for LED light indications.

The device does not have a power switch, so line voltages 
are present in the power supply when the power cord is 
connected. The outlet used to power the device shall be 
within 10 feet (3 meters) of the device, be easily accessible, 
and protected by a circuit breaker.

For best results, Patton recommends you use only professional 1G (or better) 
switches with IGMP Packet Snooping and a non-blocking backplane.
