Power Over Ethernet Products
Today's network operators benefit from implementing Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. Also known by the IEEE standard 802.3af, PoE delivers power to remote network devices, such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points, over a standard Cat5 twisted pair network cable. PoE simplifies the placement and design of networks by allowing operators to avoid the time and expense of intalling new electrical wiring.
The 802.3af PoE specification describes two distinct categories of products:
- Power Sourcing Equipment(PSE) - This is equipment that delivers PoE to network devices.
- Powered Devices (PD) - This is equipment that runs off the PoE which is supplied by the PSE above.
IMC Networks has integrated PoE into several of its leading line of media converters and optical access devices, and has released new products focusing on this powerful technology.
PD-Switch
PD-SwitchWhile 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.

iMcV-PSE-MidSpan
iMcV-PSE-MidSpanThe iMcV-PSE-MidSpan module allows network operators to easily add PoE delivery capabilities (PSE) to an IMC Networks iMediaChassis managed chassis. The PSE-MidSpan delivers data and power to Ethernet devices over a single Ethernet cable. The module is compatible with all iMcV-compatible chassis, such as the 3, 6 and 20-slot iMediaChassis.

PSE-McBasic Family
PSE-McBasic FamilyIMC Networks has incorporated PoE technology into the classic McBasic line of media converters. The PSE-McBasic family, which includes the extended temperature range PSE-XT-McBasic, combines copper to fiber media conversion with PoE, delivering a versatile network solution for operators. The PSE-McBasic plugs into a power source at the fiber termination point, and converts the remote single-mode or multi-mode connection, or single strand fiber connection, to PoE over twisted-pair cable. Network devices up to 100m from the fiber termination point can then be powered. The XT version allows operation in more difficult environments.

IE-Product Lines
IMC Networks continues to innovate by integrating multiple powering options and extended temperature (IE) functionality into many of its core products, allowing operation in industrial and other harsh environments. Many of IMC Networks' IE media converters and optical demarcation devices have been released with Powered Device (PD) functionality, including the IE-MiniFiberLinX-II optical demarcation device and the IE-MediaChassis single slot chassis. including the IE-MiniMc media converter, IE-MiniFiberLinX-II optical demarcation device and the IE-MediaChassis single slot chassis. |
