An improved format of power delivery called “fault-managed power” is changing how communication systems are powered. The 2023 version of the National Electrical Code (NEC) includes New Article 726, which brings Class 4 power (also called fault-managed power systems, or FMPS) into the NEC for the first time.
Join Belden and VoltServer in this webinar as we provide a high-level overview of FMPS, highlighting the distinctions between Class 4 and other circuit classes, exploring the benefits of FMPS, and discussing their deployment through global standards.
