FAQs
What are PoE Ethernet switches used for in network environments?
L-com Ethernet switches are designed to support reliable data switching and Power over Ethernet distribution in enterprise and industrial network environments. These managed Ethernet switches are commonly used for Layer 3 VLAN routing applications and network aggregation where high port density and uplink flexibility are required. With integrated PoE and high-speed uplink support, they help simplify network architecture for connected devices.
What uplink options are available on PoE Ethernet switches?
Two 100/1000BASE-X mini-GBIC SFP slots provide additional fiber connectivity with automatic SFP type detection. These L-com Ethernet switches also include two 10GBASE-SR/LR SFP+ uplink slots that are backward compatible with 1000BASE-SX, LX, and BX SFP modules. This combination supports flexible network expansion and high-speed backbone connectivity for workgroup and departmental deployments.
What are the physical specifications of PoE Ethernet switches?
L-com provide Ethernet switches with a compact enclosure measuring approximately 2.8 inches in length, 4.2 inches in width, and 5.9 inches in height, with a total weight of about 3.7 pounds. These switches support operating temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C and storage temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C, making them suitable for demanding environments including industrial PoE switching and wireless infrastructure applications.
What PoE standards do these Ethernet switches support?
L-com offer Ethernet switches equipped with eight 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports that support IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standards. Each PoE port can deliver up to 36 watts of power for connected devices. The IEEE 802.3af standard provides up to 15.4W per port, while IEEE 802.3at PoE+ extends power delivery to support higher-wattage devices such as PoE+ PTZ cameras and wireless access points.
What devices can be powered by PoE Ethernet switches?
Each PoE port can deliver up to 36 watts of power, supporting connected devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and PoE+ PTZ cameras. These managed PoE Ethernet switches support IP-based devices requiring both data connectivity and power through a single Ethernet cable. Common applications include industrial PoE switching, wireless infrastructure, VLAN routing, and network connectivity for PoE-powered equipment.
What operating temperature range do PoE Ethernet switches support?
PoE Ethernet switches support operating temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C and storage temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C, making them suitable for demanding environments. This extended temperature range enables deployment in industrial network environments, outdoor enclosures, and harsh installation conditions where standard commercial networking equipment may not operate reliably. The rugged operating specifications support industrial PoE switching and wireless infrastructure applications.
