Top Performance for Data and Power: Industrial Switch Profi Line Modular of MICROSENS Provides Power-over-Ethernet with up to 60 Watts

The trend towards the power supply of IP-capable end devices over the data connection demands ever-increasing performance. The 30 watts supplied by Power-over-Ethernet-Plus are no longer sufficient for many applications. The euromicron subsidiary MICROSENS, the technology specialist for reliable, high-performance industrial networks, extends its proven switch series Profi Line Modular by high-power models with up to 60 watts per port.

With the doubled performance for end devices, the user can now draw on a wide range of new application options, such as the energy supply for LED/IR illumination units in the security environment or the feeding of performance-hungry WLAN and LoRa wireless communications systems.

Industrial switches of the Profi Line Modular series have proven their value in harsh environments for years. The new switches with the increased PoE performance also offer the numerous tried-and-tested features, such as modular extensibility to up to 25 ports for a demand-oriented, economically efficient expansion of the network, high performance Gigabit Ethernet over copper and fiber optic lines, highest fault tolerance by means of redundant power supply and a ring-shaped cabling structure, as well as shortest possible restore times via the storage of the firmware and the configuration file on an SD card.

The reliability and security mechanisms of the robust switches with their tough stainless steel casings make them the first choice in critical manufacturing areas, in energy supply, gas and oil production, for the monitoring of pipelines, in mining, transport and logistics, as well as in professional security technology. The new switches are completely compatible to the already existing devices of this successful switch family.
