Abstract
Power entry and distribution for network communication systems are disclosed. For certain embodiments depicted, a power distribution board with an open-grid configuration receives power feed/return lines from a power entry connector and distributes the power feed/return lines for a network processing system. The open-grid configuration facilitates airflow through a chassis and thereby provides improved cooling. Further, a modular power entry connector can be used to facilitate connection of power feed/return cables to the chassis for the network processing systems while improving safety for high power implementations.
