ADVANTECH has introduced the EKI-2701PSI Industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter, which offers the convenience of a single cable to supply power and data to connected devices and equipment.
PoE (also known as IEEE 802.3af) is a relatively new technology to industrial and plant-floor environments, but, according to the company, has proven itself in commercial and enterprise applications over the past several years.
Using the unused wires in a 10/100Base-T cable, or by overlaying power on the data connections, PoE supplies 15.4 W of power at 48 V DC.This technology can power network devices and equipment, where it is inconvenient, expensive, or infeasible to supply power separately.
Connected between a standard Ethernet device and a PoE powered connection, the EKI-2701PSI operates as a ‘splitter’, separating the PoE connection into a standard RJ45 Ethernet port and a removable screw terminal block capable of supplying nearly 13 W at 24 V DC.
Packaged in a thin DIN-rail mount chassis, the EKI-2701PSI is ideal where panel space is limited.
It supports both standard 10/100Base-T and gigabit 1000Base-T connections.
