FREMONT, Calif. (February 6, 2008)
— Phihong USA, a global leader in Power-over-Ethernet solutions, has introduced a high-power, 36W-per-port PoE midspan. Designated the POE576U,
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."
Available in 8- or 16-port versions, this high-power PoE midspan is 17.25 inches by 8.98 inches by 1.75 inches. Operable with IEEE802.3af devices, networks are avai1able with
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T data rates. An SNMP option is available.
The POE576U has safety and protection systems designed to meet the IEEE 802.3 standards, including detection, disconnect and overload control. Over-temperature protection
allows the midspan to automatically shut down without being damaged and the outputs are equipped with short-circuit protection. Also, in case of over-voltage, the outputs will shut down without any
permanent damage to the midspan. The voltage range is 90VAC to 264VAC, with AC input frequency from 47Hz to 63Hz.
