UPOE
With 60 watts of power, the Ultra PoE category delivers twice as much power as the current IEEE 802.3at standard and is better suited to meet the high performance demands of today's network devices. With a much higher performance capacity, TRENDnet's Ultra PoE product line offers uninterrupted service and network connectivity, especially for critical networking applications.
TRENDnet's TI-UPG62 Model 6-Port Hardened Industrial Gigabit Ultra-PoE DIN Rail Switch has a high-performance capacity with 240W PoE total power, enough power for even the most demanding network and monitoring applications. This UPoE industrial unmanaged switch has four Ultra PoE ports and two dedicated SFP slots for long distance fiber-optic networking (without reducing port density).
Variable voltage
Variable voltage allows the use of 12V and 24V low voltage power supplies, as found today in most industrial applications, instead of the usual 48V required for most PoE power supplies. Variable voltage allows installers and integrators more flexibility for installations and applications.
TRENDnet's TI-PG62B 6-Port Industrial Gigabit PoE + DIN Rail Switch 12-56V features four Gigabit PoE + ports and two dedicated SFP slots with a total PoE + performance of 60-120W. Fault tolerance is ensured by the dual redundant 12-56VDC power supply with an output alarm relay triggered in the event of power failure / failure of the primary and / or redundant power supply.
Fiber Optic Converters & SFP Modules
Fiber optic links are ideal for long distance network applications, while adding an extra layer of protection to your network. Fiber optic links do not emit signals and are therefore extremely difficult to hear compared to copper Ethernet cables.
Glass fiber is also ideal for industrial environments with strong electromagnetic interference (EMI). Fiber is insensitive to EMI and radio interference (RFI). Signal loss is minimal because fiber optic signals are light and there is no crosstalk or impedance issues.
TRENDnet's cost-effective fiber-optic networking solutions enable businesses of all sizes to take advantage of these benefits. TRENDnet's fiber optic converters deliver power to PoE, PoE +, and / or UPoE compliant devices such as IP cameras, VoIP, phones, and wireless access points while simultaneously converting fiber to copper Ethernet. TRENDnet offers a wide range of industrial fiber optic converters, including a multimodal SC fiber optic converter, a single mode SC fiber optic converter, and many more.
SFP modules (or mini GBICs) are designed to provide fiber over your network switch. Look for industrial switches that have SFP ports, such as the TRENDnet 6-Port Hardened Industrial Gigabit Ultra PoE DIN rail switch, TI-UPG62 model, or the 12-port hardened industrial Gigabit PoE + Layer 2+ managed DIN -Rail Switch, Model TI-PG1284i.
Most TRENDnet industrial switches have at least one fiber-optic SFP port. TRENDnet's industrial switches offer either dedicated SFP slots or split SFP slots. For switches that share ports, only one function can be used at a time.
Power supply
Unlike standard network switches, industrial switches typically do not have a power supply. There are some industrial switches that have power built in, but since each job can have different power requirements, you need to buy a power supply that best suits your needs.
Some applications operate industrial switches via a 12V battery, and some industrial applications use only 12V power. In addition, many DIN rail applications already have a power supply. Because power requirements vary, and to minimize overall hardware costs, TRENDnet's industrial switches and their required power supplies are sold separately.
