NEW, Open Box Commscope PowerShift PS-1600-73 2x2000W DC Boost Module for RRU

Product Description This is a brand new Commscope PowerShift PS-1600-73 DC power module, also referenced under designations such as PS600DC73. It is unused excess inventory from a company that is no longer in business. May not come in original box.

The PowerShift module is an intelligent DC-DC boost solution engineered for wireless telecommunications infrastructure. It delivers optimized power to Remote Radio Units (RRUs) by dynamically adjusting voltage to compensate for losses over extended DC cable runs. This technology maintains the precise voltage required at the RRU while reducing current draw, thereby minimizing power losses, heat generation, and infrastructure costs.

Key Benefits

• Reduces capital and operating expenditures through smaller cable gauges and longer permissible feeder runs.
• Provides engineering flexibility for new deployments and upgrades to higher-power radios.
• Features patent-pending voltage optimization for improved site efficiency and future-readiness.
• High-efficiency operation lowers overall energy consumption at cell sites and DAS installations.

Intended Applications This module is designed for –48 VDC powered wireless base stations, macro cell sites, small cells, rooftop installations, and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). It is particularly effective where long DC power feeder runs to RRUs/RRHs are required or where optimization of cable size, power consumption, and thermal performance is a priority. It integrates with standard Commscope PowerShift controllers and compatible over-voltage protection equipment.
