Telecommunication equipment relies on precision power systems to maintain uninterrupted operations. AC/DC converters transform grid-level alternating current (AC) into stable direct current (DC) for routers, base stations, and servers, while power adapters interface devices with energy sources. By 2026, global 5G expansion and data center proliferation will drive demand for 7.75% more efficient power supplies (vs. 2025), with the market reaching $6.75B for 5G base stations alone (ResearchAndMarkets, 2026). Key requirements include:
Ultra-High Efficiency: DoE Level VI/CoC v.5 compliance (e.g., 87%+ efficiency in Artesyn™ adapters).
Miniaturization: GaN-based designs for compact 5G micro-stations.
Smart Management: Real-time voltage/temperature monitoring per new GB 47372-2026 safety standards.
Durability: 300+ cycle resilience under extreme conditions (-20°C to 70°C).
