this low-cost midspan provides full power of 576W for 10/100/1000 Base-T networks and requires no power management his Power-over-Ethernet device is ideal for powering VoIP phones, security systems, IP
cameras and wireless access points.
"This high-power midspan is fully compatible with IEEE802.3af devices," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing, Phihong USA. "The device is a
cost- and time-saving solution in the implementation of wireless access points and security systems because it replaces hard-wiring methods while offering superior power performance."
