World’s first IP67 switch with built-in Power over Ethernet support
Hirschmann Automation and Control has added three new IP67 switches of the OCTOPUS series to its product portfolio. These switches which have eight or 16 twisted pair ports (100 BASE TX) or 14 twisted pair and two fiber optic uplink ports (100 BASE FX) can transmit both data and current (max. 12.95 W per remote terminal) via one and the same cable.
Fast redundancy processes and various security mechanisms are also supported besides in addition to extensive management functions. The switches and all connected remote terminals can also be supplied with any input voltage from 24 V to 110 V DC via two separate IP67 voltage converters. This allows remote terminals on the field level of data networks or in other applications – for example the OCTOPUS switches comply with the European EN 50155 standard for railway vehicles – to be supplied with power under harsh ambient conditions via Power over Ethernet.
