Description

In last few years, PLANET Technology has announced complete IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Injector solution to fulfill flexible powering demand from various Ethernet environments where are hard to find power outlet. Now, PLANET releases next generation Power over Ethernet Injector product, POE-161, with brand-new IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet technology applied. The POE-161 provides the following key features:
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard compliant
Maximum 30W output power support
10/100/1000Mbps duplex mode support

The POE-161 is a Single-Port, Mid-Span IEEE 802.3at High Power over Ethernet Injector with maximum up to 30 Watts of power output over Ethernet cables. It is designed specifically to satisfy the growing demand of higher power required network equipments such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) network cameras, PTZ Speed Dome, color touch-screen / Video and Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, multi- channel (11a / b / g / n) wireless LAN access points and other Network devices that need higher power to function normally. The POE-161 High Power Injector is an ideal solution to deliver data and power to network devices directly via the RJ-45 Port interface without the need of installing extra power outlets and electrical cabling.

IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Pre-Standard Compliant
The IEEE 802.3 Power over Ethernet was defined by the IEEE® 802.3 committee, within which the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard was announced in 2003 defining the PoE equipments support of maximum 15.4 Watts input power to per device. The purpose of IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard is to provide enough power to VoIP Telephony systems, WiFi Networking, Wireless AP environment that hard to find power outlet.

Till today, the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Standard has become popular yet the PoE demand still grows for increasing network-powered applications. With many critical applications appears, the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard may not afford the trend of higher power demand. Hence, the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard is defined to allow delivery of maximum up to 30 Watts input power to per PoE device. The IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet pre-standard is an ideal solution to fulfill the high power requirements directly via the RJ-45 Port interface. Possessing stronger power capability than the existing Power over Ethernet Injectors, the POE-161 provides 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet connection ability, and also compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet Splitters to provide maximum up to 15.4 Watts power output, like PLANET POE-151S and POE-152S.

Quick and Easy High Power PoE Network Deployment
The POE-161 is a Mid-Span IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet Injector which provides DC 56V over Ethernet cables. The POE-161 inserts DC Voltage into Cat.5/5e/6 cable, allowing the cable between the Injector (POE-161) and Splitter (POE-161S) to transfer data and power simultaneously for up to 100 meters. The POE-161 delivers the Ethernet digital data with power over the twisted pair cables as an IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet Injector, and the connected IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet splitter shall separate the digital data and the power into two selectable DC outputs (5VDC / 12VDC).

Cost effective and easy Cabling installation
With IEEE 802.3at Gigabit High Power over Ethernet devices installed, the system administrator can use only one single RJ-45 Ethernet cable to carry both power and data to each device. Besides, by connecting POE-161 and the high power PoE splitter POE-161S, you could also have benefits of cost saving, easy for networking planning and high reliability. Upon IEEE 802.3at compliant devices installation, the POE-161 work together with POE-161S can keep the connection while migrating or splitting the power and the Ethernet digital packets. It thus reduces cables, eliminates the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place, and most of all, reduces installation time. The high Power over Ethernet solution frees the Security IP Camera and wireless AP deployment from restrictions of power outlet locations.
