System Module and RF module/RRH require 48v DC power supply.
In local installations, the System Module provides DC power supply to the Radio Modules.
In Feederless / Distributed Sites the DC power supply to Radio equipment may be provided by any other (48v) DC source.
For 24v DC environment there is a DC-DC converter 24v 48v available (FPDA).

Power is distributed from Flexi Power Distribution and Fuses (FPFA and FPFB)
to the System Module. The FPFA is used with System Module rel. 1, whereas in System Module rel. 2 it is replaced with the FPFB, which gives more power feeding capacity to RF Modules. The FPFB is compatible with both System
Module releases.
