DC POWERED IT & OT System
AGILE-CORE™
Powering Edge Connectivity for IT and OT Networks
AGILE-CORE™ Distributed Edge Architecture Delivers More Power & Faster Data Speeds to the Edge with Safe DC Power
Sinclair Digital’s AGILE-CORE™ Distributed Edge Architecture is a high-performance, intelligent power distribution and control system engineered for modern IT, lighting and smart building applications.
AGILE-CORE™ centralizes data and energy management by delivering safe, low-voltage DC power over copper and high-speed data via fiber from a HEADEND to distributed Edge IDFs using a hub-and-spoke architecture.
This architecture reduces both capital and operational costs by simplifying infrastructure, minimizing AC-DC conversion losses, and supporting a wide range of IT and OT devices including wireless access points, cameras, lighting, sensors, motorized shades, USB outlets, and building controls.
Powering Tomorrow’s Technology Today
Fault Managed Power (FMP)
Safe, high wattage digital power distribution technology designed to deliver DC power over long distances using standard structured cabling while automatically managing & limiting the risk of electrical faults.
Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
Allows Ethernet cables to transmit both data and power to devices, eliminating the need for separate power cables.
Extended Power Over Ethernet (X-PoE®)
Extends and enhances traditional Power over Ethernet capabilities by enabling dimming and control of LED fixtures without PoE nodes or external LED drivers to streamline deployment, eliminate failure points, and extend fixture longevity.
Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC)
Electricity is transmitted using direct current at relatively low voltage, typically below 60V and treated as class 2. LVDC offers increased efficiency and safety.
Ecosystem Intelligence
AGILE-CORE™ leverages FMP, PoE, X-PoE® and LVDC to create a building infrastructure system that offers a safe, efficient, and scalable backbone with zero standby losses, simplified wiring, and accelerated installation. This exceptional system allows for information technology systems, operational technology systems, or both IT and OT delivering a next-generation digital building system.
At the core of the system is the HEADEND, which may reside in a main electrical room or MDF, and serves as the central conversion and distribution point for AC or DC input power. It delivers power and data to remote BITS Edge IDFs using Fault Managed Power (FMP) over thin-gauge copper wiring and data over single mode fiber.
The HEADEND delivers power to remote BITS Edge IDFs using Fault Managed Power (FMP) over thin-gauge copper wiring. This fault-managed system instantly disconnects power in the event of a fault—such as accidental contact—ensuring high safety standards and reducing the risk of fire or damage. Because of its safe classification, FMP can be installed without metal conduit and run alongside communication lines, enabling flexible routing and lowering installation complexity.
Power and data are combined in a hybrid copper-fiber backbone cable, capable of extending up to 2000 feet from the HEADEND to Edge locations.
Within the Edge IDFs, FMP is converted to low-voltage DC and seamlessly integrated with the PoE, LVDC and X-PoE® lighting.
