3 Overview
The Kramer VA-100P-5 Power Supply is an efficient 10-outlet switching
power supply that can output 5V DC to up to 8A, or a maximum of 2A per
output (up to 4 outputs at any one time). It can supply 800mA to each of the 10
outputs simultaneously.
In addition, the VA-100P-5:
Is designed to operate Kramer products that use an external 5V DC power
transformer
Replaces up to 10 individual 5V DC power supplies for Kramer TOOLS™,
Kramer PicoTOOLS™, and Kramer 5V DC Desktop models

Your Power Supply

Can be rack-mounted in a 19” rack1and then conveniently used to power
up to ten 5V operated products mounted on the same rack2
Is fed from a 100-240 VAC universal switching power supply and is
housed in a half 19" enclosure
Take care to ensure that the polarity of the unit which is to be connected
matches that of the VA-100P-5, that is, that positive = center pin.
To achieve the best performance we recommend positioning your VA-100P-5
away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust.
