Phihong 576W Midspan Now SNMP-Capable



Midspan provides high-power PoE to security applications...

FREMONT, C.A.-- (April 2, 2008) -- Phihong, a global leader in Power-over-Ethernet solutions, has introduced a high-power, 36W-per-port midspan that is Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) -capable.

Designated the POE576U, the low-cost 16-port midspan provides full power of 576W for 10/100/1000 Base-T and requires no power management. This midspan is ideal for security applications including security cameras, RFID scanners, door access controls and security systems because the SNMP capability enables remote monitoring and camera reset without onsite service personnel.

"This high-power midspan is fully compatible with IEEE802.3af devices," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing, Phihong USA. "The device is a
cost- and time-saving solution in the implementation of wireless access points and security systems because it replaces hard-wiring methods while offering superior power performance."

Available in 8- or 16-port versions, Phihong's midspans require no power management and provide full power to all ports simultaneously, so there is no need to calculate and manage device priorities.

The POE576U has safety and protection systems designed to meet the IEEE
802.3 standards, including detection, disconnect and overload control.
Over-temperature protection allows the midspan to automatically shut down without being damaged and the outputs are equipped with short-circuit protection. Also, in case of over-voltage, the outputs will shut down without any permanent damage to the midspan. The voltage range is 90VAC to 264VAC, with AC input frequency from 47Hz to 63Hz.

Typical pricing for Phihong's POE576U starts at $545 each for the 8-port version.
