Phihong POE61U/POE61W 60 W midspan

Phihong has expanded its passive power injector range to include a 60 W midspan.

Four models are available in a 3-wire input version designated the POE61U and a 2-wire input version designated the POE61W. All models in the series have an output of 56 V DC and meet requirements for Energy Star EPS version 2.0 and the Ecodesign (ErP) Directive 2009/125/EC level 2 Annex 1b.

The midspans are suitable for applications such as 802.11n Wireless Access Radios, satellite receivers, high-performance security cameras, LCDs, kiosks and WiMAX access points.

They are available with optional gigabit Base-T data rates. The gigabit models will operate with full four-pair powering whereas the non-gigabit models power only on the spare pairs. Passive power injectors are for dedicated situations where there is no chance that a non-PoE compatible device may be connected.

The series features overvoltage, overcurrent and short-circuit protection and bears UL and CE safety approval markings. Minimum average efficiency for the series is rated at 87% and is compliant with Energy Star EPS version 2.0 and CEC level V.
