Wellfleet Bay Networks PN87G6290 Router Power Supply Module 50V EC0899836

Wellfleet Bay Networks PN87G6290 Router Power Supply Module 50V EC0899836

The Wellfleet PN87G6290 is a slide-in power supply module designed for Wellfleet router chassis systems. It features a rugged metal enclosure with a ventilated top grille, a multi-pin D-sub output connector, and large-capacity filter capacitors. Wellfleet Communications was a pioneering enterprise router manufacturer of the late 1980s and early 1990s, later acquired by Bay Networks in 1994; this module dates from that mid-1990s generation of Bay Networks/Wellfleet routing hardware.

Applications

Wellfleet routers were widely deployed in enterprise and carrier networks during the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, competing directly with early Cisco and 3Com routing platforms. The PN87G6290 power supply module slots into a Wellfleet router chassis and provides conditioned DC power to the system's line cards and processor boards. Bay Networks continued selling and supporting Wellfleet-based hardware through the mid-to-late 1990s under the Bay Networks brand before Nortel Networks acquired Bay Networks in 1998. This module is primarily of interest to organizations still maintaining legacy Wellfleet or early Bay Networks routing infrastructure, or to collectors of early enterprise networking hardware from this era.
