FREMONT, CA (July 28, 2004)
— Phihong, the global leader in low cost power supplies, recently introduced Power over Ethernet (PoE) DIMMs for implementing 8-48 ports in IP Phone systems, switches and blades. The DIMMs can fit vertically on a PCB in a 1U rack, reducing the board area required to implement by over 50% compared to competitive solutions. Phihong's DIMM is not only smaller than competitive solutions but it also dissipates 30% less heat than competitive solutions thus increasing system reliability and easing implementation. Phihong's PoE DIMM solution is one of the only solutions in the industry that is in full compliance with the international PoE standard, IEEE802.3af.
"PoE continues to rapidly grow in popularity, saving significant design and development resources with the ability to deliver
power and data services via a single port," said Keith Hopwood, Vice President of Marketing for Phihong USA. "By providing a multiport PoE injection solution, we offer numerous advantages and
cost savings for Ethernet switch designers, VoIP OEMs and end-users alike."
Each port on the DIMMs features internal current monitoring, a limited current source and an overload and disconnect detection
sensor - all in compliance with IEEE802.3af. The DIMMs provide active power management for port prioritization and remote control. Other features and options include AC or DC disconnect,
classification and legacy support.
Supporting 8, 12, 16, 24 or 48 ports, Phihong's PoE DIMM solutions support local GUI diagnostic services and RS232 or I2C
interfaces.
Phihong is a member of University of New Hampshire Interoperability Lab (IOL). All Phihong PoE products are evaluated for
compliance by the IOL as part of product or system compliance testing for operation to 10/100baseT or Gigabit data integrity and compliance to the IEEE802.3af standard.
Typical pricing for Phihong's PoE DIMM based networking solutions start at $1.50 per port in OEM quantities. Standalone modules
or integrated power and POE solutions are available. More information is available on the web site, at http://www.phihong.com/html/poe.html. Phihong is the leading supplier of power solutions to
networking and personal electronic OEMs supplying custom power supplies from 10-1.5kW, power adapters and PoE injection solutions. With global sales for 2004 expected to exceed $350 million, Phihong has
engineering and manufacturing facilities in North and South America, Taiwan and mainland China.
