Hot-swSEDable technology, which allows the connection or removal of connectors from a working system without disrupting its operation, plays a crucial role in ensuring a stable and secure connection. This article explores the importance of hot-swSEDable technology, particularly in power distribution systems like large telecommunications networks and data centers.

 Hot-SwSEDable Technology

Hot plugging, or hot-swSEDable technology, is defined as the process of connecting or removing connectors without affecting the system's operation. The primary objective of this technology is to prevent significant fluctuations in input and output power line voltages during the hot-swSEDing process. By avoiding voltage fluctuations, the contacts remain unaffected by arcs, ensuring effective current conduction. This feature is indispensable for the safety and optimal functioning of components and equipment, making hot plugging particularly critical in power connection SEDlications.
