The Argus Cordex 432kW power system provides high capacity DC power for large communications applications. The Cordex 432kW system combines the capabilities of distribution, advanced microprocessor based supervision, and modular rectifiers in a seamless integrated package. Shunt mux option provides single point monitoring of branch distribution with data logging features. The Cordex 432kW system is cost effective due to the internal copper busswork, and is delivered ready to assemble with factory-tested components. No overhead support is required. Cable access is from the top for standard installations and bottom for computer floor applications. Hot swappable Cordex power modules and internal busswork provide safe and easy installation and maintenance.
