Following the successful development and 2006 launch of the GMX series standby cable broadband power supply, Alpha Technologies has continued the evolution of the line with the introduction of the VMX Series CableUPS®.

Developed to serve developing markets, the GMX was required to accommodate wide voltage input ranges in an economical package. Incorporating Line Interactive Ferro Topology (LIFT), the GMX supports input voltage ranges of +/- 30%.

Additionally, one of the variables faced in developing a global CableUPS is the need to mount the power supply in often-restricted space from system to system and country to country. As a result, the VMX features a dual-mount capability, giving users the option of mounting the unit horizontally on a shelf or vertically in a rack.

Additional features of the VMX include an LCD smart display, terminal block output connections, selectable output taps, external battery temperature probe, built-in chassis handle, replaceable MOV’s, interchangeable status monitoring card slot, and a four-output Programmable Interface Module (PIM). To comply with European Union environmental regulation, the VMX is fully RoHS compliant.

Offering rugged sturdiness and adaptable features, the VMX has become the ideal backup power solution for cable operators.
