# Powering a Fusion Without A PowerStation

### Scope

This document covers how to provide power to a Fusion (or Element) console, without using a PowerStation or an Element Power Supply + GPIO Node.

### The Alternative Power Supply

A Fusion or Element console can also be powered by an Axia Console Power Supply unit (2001-00375) or an Axia Console Backup Power Supply (2001-00277).

Both of these PSU units look exactly the same and are the same size as a QOR.16 engine.

### Providing Power

When purchased new, each of these supplies ships with a D-Sub to CANbus 15-foot power cable.

If a new cable is needed because it's been misplaced, [contact Customer Support](https://www.telosalliance.com/support-request) and ask for the price and availability of 1711-00276-100.

If a longer cable is desired, click [here](/v1/docs/power-cables-needed-to-power-a-fusion-with-an-axia-power-supply) for the part numbers and cable lengths available.

On the back of the power supply, the 48VDC OUTPUT is clearly labeled. This is where the D-sub connector is plugged in.

The CANbus end of the cable is then plugged into the ETH4CAN board (on a Fusion) or the power distribution board (on an Element).

> [!WARNING]
> Note that this power supply ***only*** supplies power to your console. It is not an engine of any type and it does not provide any I/O or GPIO capability.
