Microsemi Releases Compact, Four-Port Power-over-Ethernet Midspan for Small to Medium-Sized Business Applications
Extends Company's Offering for Low-Port-Density Networks
IRVINE, Calif. - Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq:MSCC), a leading manufacturer of high performance analog mixed-signal integrated circuits, high reliability semiconductors and RF subsystems, today announced a compact, cost-effective four-port Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) midspan designed to power a wide range of network devices in low-density applications.
Microsemi's new PowerDsine® PD-3504G midspan is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af specifications to safely power wireless LAN (WLAN) access points, IP security cameras, VoIP phones, access control systems and other devices over existing standard Ethernet cabling.
The new four-port PoE midspan joins Microsemi's single-port PD-3501 and PD-3501G products for low density installations, and is part of a growing family that supports up to 24-port implementations in both standard- and high-power applications with a variety of smart power-management and remote-maintenance capabilities.
The PD-3504G PoE midspan enables delivery of both data and power over a single standard Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for an external power supply and its associated AC/DC power cabling. It provides a compact, affordable, safe and reliable power-delivery solution over the existing Ethernet infrastructure.
The PD-3504G PoE Midspan supports Gigabit Ethernet data transmission, enabling it to power 10/100/1000Base-T network devices including wireless IEEE 802.11n access points and wireless WiMAX access points. The PD-3504G midspan's breakthrough size, performance and cost will simplify PoE deployment in small businesses and residential environments.
