Product Overview
The LevelOne IFE-0501 and IFE-0502 4-Port 10/100TX PoE and
1-port 100 SC Fiber
Industrial Fast Ethernet Switches combine PoE capability and
4-port switching
into a small heavy-duty metal casing for Industrial PoE
applications.
The IEEE802.3af Power over Ethernet compliant switches connect
to a 48V DC
power source to provide power and 10/100Mbps data transmission
over Ethernet
cabling to attached devices.
Industrial PoE Application
The IFE-0501 and IFE-0502 Industrial PoE Switch is designed for
network devices
operating in harsh environments. The ports and PoE injector are
enclosed in a
robust and durable metal casing. The switches are easily
installed at network
edges where AC power is not always available.
The switches are built to operate between -10¢XC and 60¢XC in 95%
noncondensing
humidity and are suitable for covered outdoor installation.
Mounting
options include wall-mounting, DIN-rail mounting and stand-alone
panel
mounting.
Extending the Network
The 1-Port SC Fiber port links the IFE-0501 and IFE-0502 to a
network to provide
network extendibility to LAN edges where few AC power outlets
are located. The
fiber port supports Multi-Mode (IFE-0501) operation and
Single-Mode (IFE-0502)
operation modes.
The IFE-0501 can be connected to a network 2km away, while the
IFE-0502 can
connect to a remote network 30km away.
The switches use a standard Store-and-Forward switching
architecture with a
1Gbps backplane and 1K MAC address table.
Auto-Sensing Connected PD Devices
The IFE-0501 and IFE-0502 feature auto-sensing for providing
power to IEEE
802.3af PoE compliant attached PD devices. This ensures that
non-PoE devices
are not damaged by unnecessary power when connected.
The IFE-0501 and IFE-0502 also supports over-current protection,
under-current
detection and fault protection.
