PoE Modules Drive Industrial Designs

The FL series modules are described as industrial-strength Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) components. The FL IF 2PSE-F module provides two PoE ports for the modular-managed switch and operates as an end-span device with power sourcing equipment (PSE) integrated in the switch/hub. Depending on specific requirements, users can freely combine eight to 24 ports in twisted pair, PoE, and various glass fiber media. End devices with PoE can be monitored by a higher-level management system that is also capable of turning the devices on and off remotely. The FL PSE 2TX, a mid-span module with the PSE between the network and the powered device, converts two standard Ethernet ports to PoE ports. The module generates the 48V power supply required by IEEE802.3af from a 24-Vdc connection. PHOENIX CONTACT INC., Middletown, PA. (800) 888-7388.
