DANBURY, Conn. — ComNet, a manufacturer of fiber optic transmission and networking equipment, introduces two hardened PoE power injectors for applications were higher requirements for operating power exist on an Ethernet network.
The 75-watt CNGE1IPS75AC and 95-watt CNGE1IPS95AC hardened Ethernet PoE power injectors are designed to supply PoE operating power to powered devices that require greater power than can be provided by IEEE 802.3at for power sourcing equipment.
These midspan injection modules inject 50-57 VDC to any network cable. Operating power and 10/100/1000TX Ethernet data are combined on one cable, eliminating the need to install additional power outlets and electrical cabling, according to the company.
The models are fully compliant with the requirements of IEEE 802.3at for power sourcing equipment (PSE), and feature auto detection of powered devices. Transmission distances of up to 328 feet (100 meters) are supported, and this injector supplies operating power for powered devices drawing a maximum of 75- and/or 95-watts (model dependent).
They are well-suited for fiber optic, wireless, or other networks where it may be difficult to furnish operating power to powered devices. The devices offer a true plug-and-play product requiring no user configuration or other set-up.
“We are consistently being pushed on the demand for PoE capabilities,” says ComNet President Andrew Acquarulo. “There are many PoE powered devices available that require greater operating power. These 75- and 95-watt devices can provide that greater power and stand up to difficult industrial environments. Our switches have always been ahead of the curve when it comes supporting PoE. Where there was a need was, is for hardened supplies to meet that demand for greater power. These products satisfy that demand.”
