Moxa has announced the launch of the EDS-P510 Gigabit PoE managed Ethernet switch, equipped with four IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE ports to provide connected devices with up to 15,4 Watts of power per port. The ability to transmit data and power simultaneously saves on wiring costs and the industrial grade design make it especially suitable for harsh and outdoor environments.
The EDS-P510 provides many advanced power management functions. A prime example is the ‘PD (powered device) failure recovery’ function for detecting the status of connected powered devices. When a PD fails or shuts down, the EDS-P510 can reset and re-activate the PD to ensure that it works properly. The ‘timetabling’ function makes it easy to configure a PD to work at specific times and saves energy since the PD is not running continuously. In addition, when connected devices could cause power overload problems, the ‘power limit setting’ function can be used to pre-set the power limit.
The EDS-P510 comes with three combo Gigabit Ethernet ports that can be used to form a redundant Gigabit ring and uplink. In addition, the SFP ports ensure high-bandwidth transmission for both data and video, making the EDS-P510 the best choice for outdoor applications that involve connecting devices such as IP cameras and intercoms. Such applications can benefit from the EDS-P510’s scalable backbone construction and Power-over-Ethernet support.
