Supplying Power-Hungry End Devices via PoE: Industrial Injector Provides up to 60 Watts

Today, end devices with a high demand for power can also be operated without any problems in existing Gigabit Ethernet networks via Power-over-Ethernet. For this purpose, MICROSENS GmbH & Co. KG has developed an industrial high-power PoE injector, which can be simply mounted on a 35-mm DIN rail. The PoE injector has a wide range of applications; Outdoor IP video surveillance cameras with built-in heating, PTZ function, high-power access points, mobile computer, LED lighting, and infrared headlights – all these features can be supplied with power over the data cable up to 60 watts when required. This is possible for harsh environments as well: here, the Entry Line High-Power PoE+ Injector is equipped with a robust metal chassis and features an extended temperature range between -40 and +75 degrees Celsius.

The device works according to the PoE/PoE+ Standard and supports Gigabit Ethernet with data transmission rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps. In addition to complying with the standard modes of 15.4/30W, it can provide power of 36W or 60W through the appropriate configuration of the front DIP switches. This is possible through the use of all four pairs of twisted-pair cables.

Another advantage offered by the euromicron subsidiary MICROSENS is the optional injector version with integrated step-up converter. The device can be supplied with a voltage of 24 to 56V DC, making it no longer necessary to purchase expensive 48V DC power supplies.

The extended shock and vibration resistance of the injector has been proved through a wide range of deployments in harsh environments. The device is readily available under the article number MS657032X, or – with step-up converter – as MS657032X-24.
