-* The power consumption of a typical MCC is approximately 30-35 W (5 W less with only one fibre card).
+* '''Power draw''': 25-30 W with one fibre card (5 W more with two fibre cards)
-* The 2U MCC takes 85-264V, 50-60Hz AC mains power over a 3-pin HP-style power connector.  The small MCC requires 24-Volt nominal (18-36 V allowed) DC power.
+* '''Input power''':
-* The 2U MCC has a front panel power switch.  The small MCC has no power switch: DC-in must be switched externally.
+** The 2U MCC takes 85-264V, 50-60Hz AC mains power over a 3-pin HP-style power connector.
-* The small MCE power connector is an Amphenol PTC-2A-14-5P.  Positive voltage is on pins B and C.  Return is on pins D and E.
+** The small MCC requires 24-Volt nominal (18-36 V allowed) DC power.
