Huawei DCDU-12B 1U Rack-Mounted DC Power Distribution Unit (10-Way MCB Circuit Protection)

The Huawei DCDU-12B is a carrier-grade 1U 19-inch rack-mounted DC Power Distribution Unit (PDU) engineered for telecom macro sites and core network enclosures. Operating across a nominal -48V DC telecom bus infrastructure with total input current handling up to 160A, it features 10 individual industrial-grade Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) to provide granular branch protection, circuit isolation, and power routing for Baseband Units (BBUs), Remote Radio Units (RRUs/AAUs), and transmission transport equipment.

What this product is

What this product is

At its architectural core, the Huawei DCDU-12B implements a low-impedance solid copper distribution busbar capable of terminating single or dual high-capacity -48V DC feeder cables. This central DC rail delivers branch power across 10 dedicated high-reliability MCBs. The enclosure integrates a dedicated alarm aggregation sensing board wired to the auxiliary contacts of each circuit breaker; a branch trip event instantly triggers galvanic dry-contact relay state transitions that feed fault telemetry into external site controllers. The entire mechanical footprint is strictly enclosed within a 1U chassis containing physical insulation covers and clear polarity labeling.

What problem it solves

The DCDU-12B eliminates systemic single-point DC feed cascades and cable congestion in high-density base station cabinets. By implementing segregated, selective branch protection via 10 precision breakers, a short-circuit fault on an individual RRU branch cannot trip the master rectifier feed or drop adjacent critical core processors. Furthermore, its completely passive, convection-cooled architecture resolves fan dust clogging, thermal wear, and cramped maintenance bottlenecks common in edge cabinets.

Who and where it is for

Engineered specifically for 4G/5G macro cell outdoor and indoor cabinets, Cloud-RAN/Distributed-RAN aggregation hubs, edge compute modular data centers, integrated DC power plants, and ruggedized -48V industrial control distribution networks.

Core advantages

  • Standard 1U High-Density Form Factor: Conserves premium vertical rack space, fitting directly alongside BBUs, rectifiers, and optical transceivers.
  • 10-Way MCB Granular Branch Protection: Eliminates cascading power failures through rapid, selective overload and short-circuit isolation.
  • Pure Passive Convection Architecture: Fanless, zero-noise, and component-wear-free design guaranteeing ultra-high MTBF in harsh sites.
  • Integrated Dry-Contact Alarm Signaling: Provides real-time fault loop closure to central DCIM and baseband supervisory modules.
