Phihong Simplifies CEC Compliance for Customers with New Catalog


FREMONT, Calif.-- (May 21, 2007) Phihong USA, a global leader in low-cost power supplies and Power-over-Ethernet solutions, is simplifying CEC compliance for its customers with a new short-form catalog that features the entire breadth of its product line, most of which is CEC compliant, including the only complete range of linear replacement adapters available as standard solutions to the general market. In addition to the compliant adapters and power supplies, the catalog also highlights the company¡¦s complete line of Power-over-Ethernet solutions that are making PoE affordable for small office/home office applications as well as enterprise applications.

¡§Phihong is the only manufacturer offering a complete range of CEC-compliant adapters, which we¡¦re doing in support of our longstanding company-wide green initiative,¡¨ said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. ¡§We are able to develop and certify our products right at our facility, which significantly shortens the design process. Our new catalog spotlights these green products and makes it easier for customers to choose the solution they need.

Phihong has been active in promoting environmentally sound power products, adapting its product lines to meet RoHS, WEEE, EU Code of Conduct, China Energy Council, Canadian Standards, ENERGY STAR"Â¥, and Proposition 65 standards as well.

The new short-form catalog also features the breadth of Power-over-Ethernet solutions developed by Phihong. With a product line that includes single- and multi-port midspans, splitters, and power supplies with integrated PoE, which allows both power and data to be carried over one Ethernet cable, Phihong has recognized the growing popularity of PoE technology while addressing the issues of cost and accessibility.

Phihong makes PoE (and PoE-powered applications) even more affordable because its full line of PoE solutions requires a much lower initial outlay than alternative products on the market. Unlike other suppliers, Phihong designs, manufactures and sells its own products, so pricing isn¡¦t driven up to cover the expenses of several companies involved throughout the design and manufacture process.

Phihong is one of the leading suppliers of power solutions to networking OEMs, including power supplies, adapters and Power-over-Ethernet products. With global sales for 2007 expected to exceed $500 million, Phihong has engineering and manufacturing facilities in North and South America, Taiwan and mainland China.
