Makes sense but has nice second order effects. If we could standardise more we can optimise for power efficiency, things like more DC in DCs

- baybal2 8y agoFIY, the original telecom rack equipment been standardised on 48V since time immemorial. So, at 48V you can simply use off the shelf telecom power supplies
- StudentStuff 8y agoI've been trying to find cheap 48v power supplies for 1A and less telcom gear, but they seem to be pretty spendy. Cheaper to buy old gear that includes the PSU than order the PSU itself.
- shereadsthenews 8y agoActually it seems to me that standardization hampers the last bit of efficiency. Just one example that grinds my gears is the LEDs on the reference designs. Nobody needs these but there they are, drawing current 24x7 in a dark warehouse in the middle of nowhere.
- remarkEon 8y agoCan’t they just be turned off after power-on, or flipped on as needed?
