16-Channel Rack-Mount 12V DC CCTV UPS Power Supply – PS-DC20A16VBR
SKU: PS-DC20A16VBRCentralize power for up to 16 security devices from one professional rack-mount unit. The UltraPoE PS-DC20A16VBR delivers 20A total at an adjustable 11–13.8V DC, with individually protected outputs, front-panel channel LEDs and support for an external 12V backup battery.
Built for multi-camera security systems
Designed for CCTV installers, access-control integrators and facility teams, this 16-channel power supply replaces multiple wall adapters with a clean, serviceable rack installation. Adjustable voltage helps compensate for cable voltage drop on longer runs when properly engineered.
- 16 independent DC outputs for cameras, access-control devices, LED equipment and other compatible 12V loads
- 20A total capacity with 1.25A nominal allocation per channel
- Adjustable 11–13.8V DC output for installation flexibility
- Resettable PTC protection on every output to isolate faults without replacing fuses
- Front status LEDs for power and all 16 channels
- Battery-backup support for continuity during an AC interruption; external 12V battery sold separately

Frequently asked questions
Can every output deliver 1.25A at the same time?
The power supply is rated for 20A total across 16 channels. Always calculate the combined continuous load and allow engineering margin for startup current and cable loss.
Why is the voltage adjustable?
The 11–13.8V DC range gives a qualified installer flexibility to compensate for measured voltage drop on longer cable runs while keeping the connected device within its approved input range.
Does it include a backup battery?
No. The unit supports an external 12V backup battery, but the battery is sold separately.
What happens if one channel is overloaded?
That channel's resettable PTC protection limits the fault. After power is removed and the fault is corrected, the PTC can reset without a replacement fuse.
Is this unit for outdoor use?
No. Install it indoors in a ventilated equipment rack or cabinet, away from moisture, and follow all applicable electrical codes.
