20-port Mid-Span Power Hub and the BL-89210ENT and BL-89710ENT 10-port Mid-Span
Power Hub support applications in which AC power is difficult to access, such as VoIP
phones, wireless LAN access points or Internet security cameras.
The Enterasys 20-port and 10-port Mid-Span Power Hubs act as "patch panels" and add
~48 VDC to unused (non-data) wires in standard Category 5, 5e, or 6 Ethernet cable. The
power unit delivers both data and power over a single standard Ethernet cable.
Main features of the 20-port and 10-port Mid-Span Power Hubs include:
•
Fully hot-swappable modules
•
Remote power feeding; powered devices receive power over the Ethernet cable
•
Centralized power distribution; one powered device can be connected to a single in-
line unit
•
IEEE 802.3af standard powering scheme
•
Acts as a normal patch panel and places ~48 VDC on unused Ethernet pins
•
Total power available: 15.6W per port per IEEE specification
•
Automatic power-control circuitry to detect a powered device before providing
power
•
Double-fused power surge protection
Port Indicators
Each port has its own LEDs which display the following:
•
