With Power-over-Ethernet the devices can be placed flexibly inside & outside the building regardless of a socket. Through this technology power can be supplied to the IP-enabled devices via the network cable. In complex wireless LAN installations & in building surveillance with IP cameras the Po E-components drastically reduce the installation costs, since no power line need be laid to the place of installation.
The switch detects automatically, whether a Po E-device is connected & which voltage does it need. Hereby, the maximum possible Po E power of 15.4 watt is available at every port. If a device is connected, which does not have a Po E support, the switch detects this too & no voltage is applied, so that the device is protected against damage. The Po E-switch has a robust metallic casing. The eight RJ45 network ports automatically detect the transfer rates of the connected devices (10 or 100 Mbit/s). The full & half-duplex operation makes available maximum 200 MBit/s per port.
Through the management functions the Po E switch becomes the absolute professional device for modern network control. The management features include quality of service, VLAN segmentation (VLAN tagging & port-based VLAN) & spanning tree, as well as extensive monitoring functions. The switch is thus optimally prepared for modern forms of communication like Voice over IP. Optimum for linking a small sub-network in average distance. The switch thereby provides eight twisted-pair connections (RJ45) & two slots for an SFP-module. These SFP-ports can also be used as gigabit-ports (RJ45).
