Product Overview

The tvONE 1RK-PSU-HSWP is a 450W dual-redundant, hot-swappable PSU module for the ONErack chassis system. It delivers up to 450 watts of regulated DC power to all connected modules and can be removed and replaced while the chassis remains live with no interruption to powered devices. As a universal ONErack PSU accessory, it is compatible with all ONErack chassis sizes and is the appropriate PSU upgrade for any installation requiring redundancy, higher power capacity, or live serviceability.

Product Description

The 1RK-PSU-HSWP is the standalone ONErack hot-swappable PSU module the same core power supply unit offered in the chassis-specific configurations (1RK-4RU-PSU-2-HSWP, 1RK-5RU-PSU-2-HSWP, 1RK-6RU-PSU-2-HSWP) but available as a standalone purchase for the ONErack accessory catalog. It provides 450W of DC output, DC power conditioning, load sharing, surge protection, and user-resettable fuses for comprehensive power quality and fault protection. The hot-swap capability means the PSU can be removed and reinserted without powering down the chassis critical for broadcast, healthcare, government, and any other environment where rack downtime is not acceptable. When a second 1RK-PSU-HSWP is installed alongside the first in the same chassis, the system operates in dual-redundant mode: if one PSU fails or is removed, the second takes over load automatically. The front power connector simplifies servicing, and the front power output supports the optional ONErack Fan Cover accessory. Two locking rear outputs maintain stable power bus connections to the chassis. This PSU is the appropriate choice for any ONErack deployment being upgraded from the standard 250W PSU to a higher-capacity, redundancy-capable option. Available from Creation Networks.

• DC Power Conditioning Clean, stable output voltage delivered to all chassis modules.
• Load Sharing Distributes power demand evenly across connected modules for consistent performance.
• Surge Protection Protects connected AV devices from transient voltage events.
• User-Resettable Fuses Field-resettable after a fault event without component replacement.
• Front Service Access Front power connector and fan cover output for simplified in-rack maintenance.

Typical Applications

• Upgrading existing ONErack 4RU, 5RU, or 6RU chassis to 450W hot-swappable power
• Adding dual-redundant PSU protection to any ONErack chassis deployment
• Broadcast and production racks requiring live PSU serviceability
• Government and enterprise AV systems with power redundancy specifications
• Healthcare AV installations requiring continuous, uninterruptible rack power

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 1RK-PSU-HSWP and the chassis-specific hot-swap PSUs?

The 1RK-PSU-HSWP is the same PSU module offered in the chassis-specific configurations (1RK-4RU-PSU-2-HSWP, 1RK-5RU-PSU-2-HSWP, 1RK-6RU-PSU-2-HSWP). The chassis-specific SKUs are designated for specific chassis sizes for ordering clarity; the 1RK-PSU-HSWP is the universal standalone accessory SKU. Confirm compatibility with your chassis size with Creation Networks when ordering.

How does dual-redundant mode work?

When two 1RK-PSU-HSWP units are installed in the same ONErack chassis, they share the load automatically. If one PSU fails or is removed for servicing, the second immediately picks up the full load, keeping all connected devices powered without interruption.

Can this PSU replace the standard 250W PSU in an existing ONErack kit?

Yes. The 1RK-PSU-HSWP is an upgrade/replacement for the standard 250W PSU included with the ONErack Standard Kits, providing higher power capacity and hot-swap capability.

Does the 1RK-PSU-HSWP require the chassis to be powered down for installation?

No. That is the defining feature of the hot-swappable design the PSU can be installed or removed while the chassis is live and devices are powered.

What protective features does this PSU include?

DC power conditioning, load sharing, surge protection, and user-resettable fuses provide comprehensive coverage for mission-critical AV rack environments.

Where can I purchase the tvONE 1RK-PSU-HSWP?
