Planet UPOE-400

Compact and Robust 802.3bt PoE++ Network Solution

The PLANET UPOE-400 4-Port Multi-Gigabit 802.3bt PoE++ Injector Hub features four 10/100/1G/2.5G/5GBASE-T 90-watt 802.3bt type-4 PoE++ injector portsWith a total PoE budget of 160 watts, it offers the ability to run 802.3bt PoE++ power over Ethernet UTP cables along with data to an 802.3bt/at powered “powered device” (PD).

The UPOE-400 offers a fast, secure, and cost-effective 802.3bt PoE++ network solution for small businesses and organizations. The unit is designed to perfectly upgrade an existing network infrastructure to an 802.3bt PoE++ network system without replacing existing Ethernet switches. Power supplies are simultaneously centralized.

802.3bt PoE++ Meets High Power Demands of Powered Devices

As the UPOE-400 adopts the IEEE 802.bt PoE++ standard and PoH technology, it is capable to source up to 90 watts of power by using all the four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling to deliver power and full-speed data to each remote PoE compliant PD. It possesses triple amount of power capacity, when compared with that of the conventional 802.3at PoE+. It is an ideal solution to satisfy the growing demand for higher power consuming network PDs, such as:

• PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
• Network devices
• thin clients
• AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) and information kiosks
• Remote digital signage displays
• PoE lightings

 Quick and Easy 802.3bt/at PoE Network Deployment

The UPOE-400 is installed between a regular Ethernet Switch and the PDs. Four ports are network (Ethernet) ports for data input while the other four ports are PoE++ ports for data and power output. Both power and data are transferred simultaneously over the UTP cables to various 802.3bt/at PDs without affecting the existing network performance and functions. With data and Power over Ethernet from one unit, the UPOE-400 can reduce power cable deployment and eliminate the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place.

Intelligent LED Indicator for Power Input and Real-time PoE Usage

The UPOE-400 helps users to monitor the current status of power input and PoE power usage easily and efficiently via its advanced LED indication. The “Power LED” allows user to know the status of DC power input. The “PoE Usage” displayed on the front panel of the UPOE-400 has three amber LED indicators of different power usages indicating 50W, 100W and 160W. Via the power usage LED, the UPOE-400 enables the administrator to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time.

High Power Budget for PoE Extension

With up to 90-watt PoE output capability, the UPOE-400 can extend much longer distance by using PLANET PoE Extender for powering up the PoE PD which can be installed over a distance of more than 100 meters.
