Omnitron Systems Unveils Advanced SPoE Switches for Extended Ethernet Capabilities
Omnitron Systems has taken another leap forward in the realm of network connectivity with the introduction of their latest compact Single Pair Power over Ethernet (SPoE) switches and injectors. This innovation enables Ethernet and PoE extension up to an impressive 1,000 meters using 2-Wire Single Pair Ethernet Cable.
With a commitment to enhancing end-to-end connectivity solutions, particularly for video surveillance, building automation, and industrial automation sectors, Omnitron Systems has introduced a suite of Single Pair Ethernet products. These solutions are designed to bridge the gap between Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) networks, forming a crucial part of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) advancements.
The OmniConverter® GLPoE/Sx and RuggedNet® GLPoE/Si switches represent a significant breakthrough in IEEE 802.3cg-compliant 10BASE-T1L technology. These devices effortlessly integrate field and edge IoT/IIoT devices with cloud systems. Featuring four single pair Ethernet ports, the switches are capable of transmitting both data and power to end devices through Power Over Data Line (PoDL) or Single Pair Power Over Ethernet (SPoE). The SPoE switches are engineered to power devices ranging from 30VDC Class 10-12, delivering up to 12.6W, and 58VDC Class 13-15, delivering up to 79W. The inclusion of two uplink ports, available in 10/100/1000 RJ-45 or 100/1000 fiber SFP, ensures versatile connectivity options. The dual uplink configuration supports redundancy with point-to-point and ring network protection, complete with restoration and automatic failover capabilities.
