Milesight Industrial PoE Switch 120W

Enhance your network infrastructure with the Milesight Industrial PoE Switches, robust and reliable solutions designed to meet the demands of industrial applications. As specialized networking devices, Industrial PoE switches from Milesight provide both data connectivity and power to devices over Ethernet cables, simplifying the deployment of critical equipment such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and sensors in industrial environments. In industrial settings, deploying and managing network infrastructure can be challenging due to harsh environmental conditions, remote locations, and the need for reliable power sources. Industrial PoE switches address these challenges by streamlining network deployment and ensuring the uninterrupted operation of essential devices. They eliminate the need for separate power cables, reducing installation time and complexity, which is particularly advantageous in environments where wiring can be difficult or costly.

With the Milesight PoE switches, remote powering of devices becomes effortless, enabling flexible placement and easy scalability of network infrastructure. This feature is invaluable for devices located in inaccessible or remote areas, where traditional power sources may be impractical. By providing both data and power over a single cable, these switches minimize points of failure in the network, enhancing overall reliability and reducing downtime, which is critical in industrial applications where even brief interruptions can have significant consequences. In practical use cases, Milesight Industrial PoE switches find applications in deploying access points for seamless connectivity, simplifying IP camera systems by providing power and data connectivity over a single cable, and facilitating industrial automation by powering and connecting sensors and actuators for real-time monitoring and control. With remote management capabilities, administrators can monitor and configure the network from a central location, enhancing visibility and control.

The Milesight Industrial PoE Switch 120W is engineered to adhere to IEEE standards such as 802.3af and 802.3at, ensuring seamless compatibility with a broad spectrum of PoE-enabled devices. By aligning with these standards, the switch guarantees optimal performance and interoperability, enabling hassle-free integration into diverse network environments. Featuring 8 x 100 Mbps Ethernet ports and 8 x PoE ports supporting both 802.3af and 802.3at standards, this switch offers unparalleled versatility and scalability to accommodate various network configurations. Each port is capable of delivering up to 15.4W (IEEE802.3af) or 30W (IEEE802.3at) of power, catering to a wide range of powered devices. Whether deploying wireless access points, IP cameras, or other PoE-enabled equipment, this switch provides the flexibility and reliability needed for industrial applications.

In addition to its standards compliance, this switch incorporates advanced power management capabilities, including PoE prioritization and PoE Priority function. These features work in tandem to safeguard against overload situations, ensuring uninterrupted power supply to critical devices even under heavy loads. By dynamically allocating power resources based on device priorities, the switch optimizes power distribution, mitigating the risk of downtime and enhancing network reliability.

Moreover, the Milesight Industrial PoE Switch 120W boasts a rugged construction designed to withstand the rigors of harsh industrial environments. Equipped with features such as rugged enclosures and wide operating temperature ranges, it excels in demanding conditions where reliability is paramount. This durability ensures consistent performance and longevity, making it an ideal choice for industrial deployments requiring robust networking solutions.

Intelligent design extends to the switch's front panel, where LED indicators provide clear insight into the operational status of each port. These indicators facilitate easy monitoring and fault detection, empowering administrators to quickly identify and address issues, thereby minimizing downtime and optimizing network performance.

Compact yet robust, the Milesight Industrial PoE Switch 120W is meticulously engineered to thrive in demanding industrial environments, boasting a durable construction and an ingress protection rating of IP30. This IP30 rating signifies its resilience against solid objects larger than 2.5 mm in diameter, coupled with limited protection against dust. With its flexible installation options, whether mounted on a wall or placed on a tabletop, seamless integration into your network setup is guaranteed. Moreover, the switch's support for IEEE802.3x Full Duplex flow control and Duplex backpressure flow control functions ensures optimized performance and efficiency across your network infrastructure. IEEE802.3x Full Duplex flow control enables devices to negotiate and regulate data flow in full-duplex Ethernet connections, preventing packet loss and collisions by enabling devices to pause transmission when the receiving buffer is full. On the other hand, Duplex backpressure flow control operates in half-duplex Ethernet connections, utilizing a backpressure mechanism to regulate data flow and prevent congestion.

In addition to these advanced features, the Milesight Industrial PoE Switch 120W incorporates Automatic MAC address learning and aging, further enhancing network efficiency and security. This feature enables the switch to dynamically learn and update MAC address tables, efficiently forwarding data to the correct destination devices. Over time, inactive MAC addresses are removed from the table through a process called aging, optimizing network performance and resource utilization. From enterprise networks to campus networks and industrial environments, this switch proves indispensable, particularly in dynamic network topologies where frequent device connections and disconnections occur.
