PD-96XXG PoE Multiport Series User Guide

Introduction

Microchip's family of Power over Ethernet (PoE) Midspans PD-96xxG series inject power over data-carrying Ethernet
cabling. Employing these devices reduces the need for AC outlets, local UPS, and AC/DC adapters near Powered
Devices (PDs).
PD-9606G/9612G Midspans support 6 and 12 ports in a 10/100/1000BaseTx Ethernet network respectively, over
TIA/EIA-568 category 5/5e/6 cabling. The PD-96xxG family series can provide up to 95W according to the HDBaseT
PoE standard. These PD-96xxG series implements a Twin High (TH) PSE system, delivering 47.5W over 2 pairs
(total 95W). DC power is supplied over both spare and data pairs of wires within a cable (1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8) to
terminal units.
PoE Midspan powers devices that are PoE enabled or equipped to receive PoE. These devices are called PDs.
PoE Midspans offer the following key features:
• Safe and reliable power over an existing Ethernet infrastructure.
• Remote management using web control and/or SNMPv3.
• High-level of network security.
• Safe solution that protects network infrastructure.
• Standards compliant: PoH and IEEE
• Provides safe Power and Data over a single RJ45 cable.
