Two new power-over-ethernet (PoE) midspan injectors, the PD-9001GI and PD-9501GI, are now available from Microsemi for use in demanding industrial and outdoor environments.
Both single-port, high-power PoE solutions are designed to operate across extended temperature ranges.
The PD-9001GI sources up to 30 watts, while the PD-9501GI sources up to 60 watts. Both systems enable remote power for applications including IEEE 802.11 access points (AP), pan-tilt-zoom cameras and other AP terminals.
Additionally, both PoE midspans comply with IEEE 802.3-2012 Clause 33 Type 2, and can also power Type 1 IEEE 802.3af devices. In addition, both midspan injectors feature dual direct current (DC) inputs, support 10/100/1000Mbps and offer plug-and-play installation.
Additional features include:
- -40°C to 75°C operating temperature range
- IP30-rated slim type metal case
- DIN rail and wall mount option
- LED indication: two input power, PoE, fault
- Input power: 20-60VDC, terminal block
- Data input/PoE output of RJ45
- Supports reverse polarity input
- Alarm for input power indication
- Specific electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)/shock/vibration/safety (UL508)
The PD-9001GI and PD-9501GI are targeted toward applications such as physical security, WLAN infrastructure, cellular infrastructure and industrial automation. In outdoor installations, both PD-9001GI and PD-9501GI can also be deployed inside enclosures, complementing non-PoE switches.
This includes devices such as industrial and outdoor internet protocol (IP) cameras, Wi-Fi access points, cellular small cells, wireless backhaul and access control devices, including human machine interface (HMI) systems, motors and industrial sensors.
IP cameras are used to maximize video transmission bandwidth while minimizing deployment costs and amount of wiring required. The rise in IP cameras in the industrial manufacturing process has contributed to the growth of PoE and gigabit Ethernet in factory automation.
"We are pleased to offer our first industrial-rated PoE midspans supporting both outdoor and industrial applications that address emerging trends and provide the market with high-quality solutions at an affordable price," said Sani Ronen, director of product management for Microsemi, developer of the PD-9001GI and PD-9501GI PoE systems.
"In addition to demonstrating our overall commitment to this market, these new midspan systems further extend our broad portfolio of PoE solutions, providing Microsemi with new applications and new revenue opportunities as we deliver our customers the benefits of PoE deployment in multiple types of environments," said Ronen.
