This series of cartridges is designed to offer higher DC power level output to a connected device as used in a home, commercial, and industrial applications. This would facilitate the integration of alternative energy supplies in the DC format for heavy load equipment, essential for the DC infrastructure of the future. The DC Cartridges can deliver power levels similar in fashion to the existing AC connectivity. Following in the standard set by the AC infrastructure, various DC levels are offered.
