Extended
Temperature Industrial Managed PoE Switch
CME-822E Deployed in Platinum Mines
11/27/2008
Taipei, Taiwan, 27 November,
2008 – Ethernet Direct Corporation,
a professional and primary provider of Industrial
Networking and communication solutions,
is pleased to share a future proof application
deploying extended temperature CME-822E,
which is an Industrial grade 10-port Managed
Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch with SFP
flexibility.
Power over Ethernet is an evolving technology
that extends the functionality of Ethernet
by supplying reliable DC power over the
same cables that currently carry Ethernet
data. To address this upcoming requirement
in Industrial applications, Ethernet Direct
introduces an Industrial Managed PoE switch
designed with 8 10/100TX + 2 10/100/1000T/
Mini-GBIC Combo w/ 8 PoE Injector.
In this project, the platinum mine site,
wireless access devices, IP PoE cameras,
and a growing number of specialty devices
are installed to provide industrial information
and control systems applications in innovative
ways. The power needed to operate small
devices is generated in the Ethernet switches,
reducing installation effort and eliminating
the need for separate power cabling in areas
that are difficult to reach in the site.
IP PoE cameras are installed for security
reasons. Extreme temperature consideration
and harsh environment are present in mining
sites. A real robust device is needed to
guarantee long life operation. The feasibility
of combining signal and power in one Ethernet
cable connection in Ethernet based industrial
control systems is the consideration in
deploying Power over Ethernet network in
the mining site to address the requirement.
As a leading provider of innovative industrial
solutions and the latest technology in PoE,
Ethernet Direct offers a dependable solution
with CME-822E. It supports eight PoE injector
ports classified as power source equipment.
CME-822E offers state of the art design
with eight 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports and
two small form pluggable (SFP) ports that
supports Gigabit SX or LX depending on your
existing network structure. CME-822E works
reliably under -40 to 80 deg C environments
and is equipped with a terminal block to
provide dual power inputs with reverse polarity
protection.
PoE technology describes a system to transmit
electrical power, along with data, to remote
devices over standard twisted-pair cable
in an Ethernet network. With this technology,
CME-822E provides cost effective deployment,
increased mobility and simplified wiring
for network connections.
Ethernet Direct brings a control system
engineering perspective to networking technology.
The principals of Ethernet Direct come from
process-control and PLC system backgrounds.
