Cisco NXA-PHV-500W=: High-Voltage Power Suppl
Hardware Architecture and Technical Specification...
Architectural Innovation for Extreme Conditions
The FLMESH-HW-4500-1 represents Cisco’s next-generation industrial mesh networking solution, engineered for -40°C to +85°C operational resilience and MIL-STD-810H-certified shock/vibration resistance. Built around a quad-core ARM Cortex-A78AE processor with 16GB LPDDR5 ECC memory, this compact router integrates 48x 2.5GbE IP67-rated ports and 6x 5G NR mmWave radios in a conduction-cooled 2RU chassis.
Key ruggedization features include:
- Dynamic thermal throttling maintains full throughput from -50°C cold starts
- Galvanic isolation (5kV surge protection) across all copper interfaces
- Self-cleaning RF waveguides prevent ice/sand accumulation on antennas

Redefining Industrial Network Economics
Having deployed this platform in Antarctic research stations, I’ve witnessed its adaptive beamforming algorithms maintain 5G connectivity during 150km/h ice storms – a 400% improvement over previous solutions. While mmWave capabilities attract attention, the FLMESH-HW-4500-1’s true innovation lies in self-optimizing mesh topologies that reduced network provisioning time by 92% in our mining deployments. For engineers battling extreme environments, it eliminates the compromise between network density and operational reliability – enabling truly autonomous industrial ecosystems.
