PD-Switch
While typical PoE switches are designed to deliver power to remote network devices, acting as PSE devices, the new multi-port PD-Switch from IMC Networks accepts PoE, acting as an 802.3af-compliant Powered Device (PD). With the PD-Switch, operators can now extend the 100 meter range of their copper-based networks to an additional 100 meters, without costly and complex electrical rewiring.
An optional SFP port or an SC or ST fiber connector provide media conversion to long-haul fiber connections. Support for DiffServ and the inclusion of a low latency VoIP copper port offer port-based QoS options.
