FREMONT, Calif. (March 10, 2006) — Phihong USA, the global leader in low cost power supplies, has joined with other major PoE technology developers to form the
new Power-over-Ethernet Technology consortium. The consortium includes a group of technology leaders in network systems and component manufacturing such as Akros Silicon, Cisco Systems, Molex, and
ProCurve Networking by HP. The PoETec committee will work to implement IEEE 802.3 Power-over-Ethernet equipment by defining a new set of standard specifications.
“As a member of the IEEE 802.3at task force, we felt it was an important next step for us to help define physical and software specifications that would make it easier
for users to implement PoE Technology,” said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. “This ensures multiple solutions from a variety of vendors will follow a standard set
of physical parameters and software protocols.”
As a charter member of PoETec, Phihong can be instrumental in defining multiple sourceable solutions that require minimum effort and time to deploy, Hopwood continued.
The PoETec specifications include a bitwise synchronous and asynchronous layer 2 serial interface; a layer 3 message set to operate power sourcing equipment functions; a
168-pin power sourcing equipment circuit board module pin out and interface description; RJ-45 modular connector blocks; and power device and power sourcing equipment management information blocks.
