For him, power supply is not a problem: simple and functional POE+ switch Lanberg
The PoE+ switch is an indispensable device active in any network structure, using power transmission through structured cabling. RSFE-8P-2GE-120 is dedicated to all installations: home, business, low-voltage, monitoring, IP, VoIP, cable TV networks, and in particular it will be used in alarm, fire and access control infrastructure.
In addition to the switch's original function, which is to handle Ethernet frame movement between ports, it also provides power to each device in PoE/PoE+ 802.3af and at standards. This makes it possible to supply devices with a total power of up to 120 W. And all this together with simultaneous data transmission to them.
This saves resources, space and time that should be spent on the installation of a separate electrical and network installation. This is especially important if the network is distributed and its end devices do not have access to a power source, especially when they are mounted externally.
Solution without compromise - real POE budget: 120 w
The switch is equipped with a total of 10 ports, including 8 PoE+ ports and 2 Uplink ports. Clever design and attention to the quality of components provides the user with up to 120 W of total real power for end devices, which means that it is possible to connect simultaneously:
- 8 devices in IEEE 802.3af standard (max. 15 W per port) or,
- 4 IEEE 802.3at devices (max. 30 W per port)
The remaining 2 ports (Uplink) are dedicated to exchange data traffic between 8 PoE+ ports and external devices. In the case of monitoring/control systems, this is particularly useful because it allows the user to simultaneously download the recording from the cameras to the recorder and share it further, e.g. in a local network or on the Internet.
Smart POE port disconnect function
In most switches available on the market with a small number of ports, it is not entirely clear how they will behave when the available PoE budget is exceeded. There are several possibilities: the one that exceeds the budget or the random port or the latest connected will be disconnected. In the last case, what will be their order after the power outage and its restoration, when they are all connected to the switch at the same time?
Lanberg in the switches of the RS series introduced an innovative solution that, through the simplicity of the principle of operation, eliminates any doubts as to the mechanics of port operation.
When the PoE budget is exceeded (e.g. by a device connected to port 1), the switch will start disconnecting PoE ports starting from the highest numbering until the sum of loads does not exceed the available budget; while keeping the operation of the other ports intact. Those that are disconnected will be switched off and on alternately.
The function is primarily dedicated to demanding applications that emphasize safety and continuity of work, where some devices must work without interruption regardless of the situation. In such cases, Lanberg switches will allow the user to protect critical devices by connecting them to the lowest port numbering.
Extend mode up to 250 meters
Standard switches in accordance with the standard provide the ability to operate devices at a distance of up to 100 m on one section of cable. However, sometimes it turns out that due to the extensive backbone network and complex environment, a custom solution that goes beyond the standard is required when developing cabling and networks. In the case of monitoring solutions, this is a fairly common problem, most often resulting from too large a distance between the distribution device and the end device.
Lanberg switches have a function enabling data transmission (max. 10 Mb/s) and PoE+ power supply up to 250 m on one cable section. Simply switch the button to the PoE+ Extend 250m position on the chassis to ensure longer distance operation for 1~8 ports.
The solution has been introduced for monitoring and IP systems as well as access control, especially if the end devices are located outside without the possibility of installing additional network distribution points.
4 kV surge protection
The switch itself, as well as the devices connected to it, are repeatedly exposed to various hazards, including power discharges, which can flow through both power and network cables.
Bearing in mind the safety of the devices and their users, Lanberg equipped the switch with an integrated anti-discharge protection system, guaranteeing 4 kV protection for all ports, effectively reducing their damage due to a rapid increase in voltage.
Under standard conditions, network operation will continue without interruptions, the switch will continue to work without any interruptions, and the user will gain the security of the device and infrastructure.
Mounting kit included - ears up to 10" & 19"
The RS switch series is characterized not only by the quality of workmanship, simplicity of use, functionality of the device, but also complementarity in terms of assembly and supplied accessories where possible.
Most of the available small switches on the market are supplied for free-standing or 19 standard installation. Some manufacturers forget about users who want to use their products in smaller home installations or SOHO. And especially where the switches have a small number of ports, and thus a small housing. Thus, they can be mounted not only in cabinets with the mentioned size 19, but also in smaller ones, such as 10.
Lanberg has introduced a set of accessories for the versatile installation of its switches. The RSFE-8P-2GE-120 provides separate mounting lugs for cabinets 10 and 19 and a set of mounting screws (except M6). This enables wider application and greater freedom of installation of RS series switches.
