The '''PDB board''' is used to distribute power to external equipment in the [[AlphaCom XE26]] exchange.

===<u>Highlights</u>===
* Distribution of power to additional equipment in the AlphaCom system
* Provides outputs for +5 V, +15 V, + 24 V, + 32 and GND in AlphaCom XE26 exchanges
* Outputs are fuse-protected
* Power is drawn from the exchange power supply
* Fastens onto mounting rail in AlphaCom exchange
* Boards may be chained to obtain a higher number of outputs.

===<u>Description</u>===
Input is from the exchange power supply. The connection is provided with a cable enclosed with the board. It plugs into the PDB board with a Phoenix connector. In the AlphaCom exchange, the power is drawn from a connector on the backplane of the Main Frame.

The board provides a range of outputs with different types of connectors. If more outputs are needed, the boards can be chained. The PDB board is fastened onto the mounting rail at the back of the AlphaCom exchange.
