3 About the Power over Ethernet Midspan
Microsemi's family of Power over Ethernet Midspans 96xx inject power over data-carrying Ethernet cabling. Employing these devices reduces the need for AC outlets, local UPS and AC/DC adapters near PDs.
PD-9606G/9612G Midspans support 6 and 12 ports respectively, in a 10/100/1000BaseTx Ethernet network, over TIA/EIA-568 category 5/5e/6 cabling. 96xxG family can provide up to 95W according to the new PoH (Part of HDBaseT) standard. 96xxG series implements a Twin High (TH) PSE system, delivering 47.5W over 2 pairs (total 95W). DC power is fed over both spare and data pairs of wires within a cable (1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8) to terminal units.
RPS family can provide backup or additional power to PD-96xxG products.
Power over Ethernet Midspan normally powers devices that are Power over Ethernet enabled or are equipped to receive power over Ethernet. These devices are called Powered Devices (PDs).
Features of the Power over Ethernet Midspan include:
■ Safe and reliable power over an existing Ethernet infrastructure
■ Remote management using Web control and/or SNMPv3
■ Highest level of network security
■ Safe solution that protects network infrastructure
■ Standards compliant: PoH and 802.3at
