Moxa has launched three high power PoE (Power over Ethernet) IEEE 802.3 af/at industrial Ethernet switches aimed at power-hungry PoE-enabled devices such as PTZ cameras and long distance wireless access points. These three models, the EDS-P506A-4PoE, EDS-P206A-4PoE and INJ-24 satisfy the demands of high power devices by providing up to 30 W of power, double the amount in the existing IEEE 802.3af PoE standard.
With 24/48 V input power support, the managed EDS-P506A-4PoE and unmanaged EDS-P206A-4PoE PoE Plus Ethernet switches guarantee outstanding power redundancy and ensure a high level of operational convenience in automation control networks. These two models are tailored to target different mission-critical applications: The EDS-P506A-4PoE provides advanced network management functions such as SNMPv1/v2c/v3, IEEE 1588 PTP, DHCP Option 82, Modbus/TCP, Turbo Ring, Turbo Chain, RSTP/STP, IGMP snooping, and GMRP. The compact EDS-P206A-4PoE is ideal for applications demanding space-efficiency such as roadside cabinets. The INJ-24 10/100/1000Mbps PoE injector is suitable for upgrading an existing non-PoE Industrial Ethernet network to a PoE-enabled network.
Apart from switches, Moxa also provides other PoE equipment such as SPL-24 series PoE splitters, the IMC-P101 Ethernet-to-fibre media converters, as well as powered devices including IP cameras and wireless access points.
