Microsemi launches high-power gigabit multi-port midspan series
Irvine, Calif.—Microsemi Corp. launched a high power
gigabit
series of multi-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspans based on
pre-standard
IEEE 802.3at specifications.
Designated PD-7000G, the additions to Microsemi's PowerDsine product portfolio allow double the power currently available within the existing IEEE 802.3af PoE standards, enabling broad WiMAX, PTZ cameras, and 802.11n access point and thin client network applications.
The PD-7000G Midspan Family includes 6-, 12- and 24- port versions,
complementing Microsemi's 30W single-port high power PD-7001G
PowerDsine unit targeting networks of low-density IP devices.
The PD-7000G multi-port units include PowerDsine's exclusive PowerView
Pro management option that allows simple and efficient monitoring
and control of network devices. This secure SNMPv3 application enables
remote power-off/power-on, unit scheduling, UPS power monitoring and
web-based monitoring.
Product Availability: Production units of the PD-7000G multi-port
series will be available in March 2008, with prototypes and demo units
available on order in February. Single-port PD-7001G high power
midspans are available in production quantities now.
