HardwarePT adds PoE splitter to product portfolio

HardwarePT has announced the availability of Advantech's EKI-2701PSI industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitter, which offers a single cable to supply power and data to connected equipment.

Using the unused wires in a 10/100 Base-T cable, or by overlaying power on the data connections, PoE supplies 15.4W of power at 48V DC.

This technology is useful for powering network devices and equipment, where it is inconvenient, expensive, or infeasible to supply power separately.

Connected between a standard Ethernet device and a PoE powered connection, the EKI-2701PSI operates as a 'splitter', separating the PoE connection into a standard RJ45 Ethernet port and a removable screw terminal block capable of supplying nearly 13W at 24V DC.

Packaged in a thin DIN-rail mount chassis, the EKI-2701PSI can be used where panel space is limited.

It supports both standard 10/100 Base-T and gigabit 1,000 Base-T connections.

It also offers 4,000V DC Ethernet ESD protection, power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000V DC, power isolation, and output power short circuit protection.

For maximum uptime, in unattended and remote locations, it features an operating temperature range of -40 to 75C.

The EKI-2701PSI splitter is a means to gain the benefits of PoE with standard Ethernet devices in harsh industrial environments.
