Micronet Introduces New Generation of
Robust and Reliability Managed PoE
Switch With Gigabit-Speed Performance
Taipei, Taiwan – November 23, 2011 – Micronet, the 20-year-old networking solutions provider for consumers and business, today announced a new generation of gigabit-performance PoE switch – SP6524P, which is ideally designed for the fulfillment of medium and large networks and/or help system integrators strengthen its network consolidation, also optimize its power source utilization.
Due to increased use of bandwidth has created significant demands for gigabit Ethernet technology, SP6524P managed switch is engineered with state of the art design that supports among gigabit speed, PoE and flexible SFP form factor to keep your network robust and reliable.

The Micronet SP6524P PoE switch is a 24-port Gigabit Managed PoE Switch (Figure 1) can provide the power up to 15.4 Watts at each gigabit port; or for the maximum of 12 ports, supplying up to 30 Watts at each. As a result, the switch can help solve the limitation of the power outlet location and offer system designer a flexible solution to locate the network devices or power devices (PDs) anywhere.

SP6524P has 24 Gigabit PoE ports and can provide the power up to 15.4 Watts (IEEE 802.3af) at each gigabit port; or for the maximum of 12 ports, supplying up to 30 Watts (IEEE 802.3at) at each gigabit port. For network cameras, wireless, or voice over IP (VoIP) deployments, the switch helps the network infrastructure completion as long as these end devices are supported with Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities.
The switch comes with four additional mini Gigabit Interface Converter (mini-GBIC) slots (sometimes called SFP slots; which shared with four Ethernet ports) for fiber Gigabit Ethernet expansion. According to the TIA/EIA 568-5-A standard for category 5e cable, the maximum length for a cable segment is 100 meters. The innovative SFP fiber slot design provides users with the flexibility to insert different fiber modules, either multi-mode or single-mode at various distances, whether typical 10km or overhaul 40 km and 80 km. This allows users to have more options when dealing with different application requirements. Thus, SP6524P is developed for this growing demand especially for the workgroup or backbone applications.
“The beauty of PoE is its simplicity, providing robust, distance transmission of both power and data through one single cable.” said Nelson Cheng, the Product Manager at Micronet Communication Inc. "PoE provides the convenience for the installation where the wall power is not easy to access, and even eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling that would otherwise be necessary in network cameras, wireless LAN and IP phones deployments" Nelson Cheng added.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology enables powering of power devices (PD), i.e. network cameras, through the transfer of DC electrical power along with data over standard Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) network cabling. PoE is typically deployed where access to AC power is inconvenient, expensive or infeasible to supply. And for most of IEEE 802.3af standardized PoE devices or network devices, SP6524P switch offers them the basic of power usage level within 15.4 Watts.

On the other hand, SP6524P is able to supply with higher power usage level at 30 Watts which is usually over 15.4 Watts. The speed dome network camera, for example, Micronet SP5923 (Figure 2), is one of type of these dome cameras that consider as this type of demand which needs more power supplement. For Micronet SP5923 (usually requires 20 Watts power consumption), SP6524P PoE switch is able to offer up to 30 Watts to fulfill its power needs. PoE devices like these type of cameras usually located in ceilings, on rooftops, light poles, along fences, pipelines, transit routes and other out-of-the-way locations, and the cost of bringing electrical power to each camera is eliminated by powering the equipment itself through the UTP cable.

SP6524P facilitates the delivery of multiple services over a Layer 2 network with support for VLAN, Link Aggregation and QoS features. As part of SP6524P advanced features, the customer is allowed to setup different tag-based VLANs on his network for different purpose; for example, using one or two VLANs, with PoE supported, for camera network; while keeping other VLANs for some other high priority tasks. This managed priority tasks can be easily set up via the switch unique QoS feature. SP6524P is particularly designed for a surveillance camera VLAN, so as to spend the customer total budget on other dedicating hardware or facilities. By dividing this switch into different VLANs, the customer can efficiently reserve more bandwidth for other purpose. Beyond these features, the switch also features 802.1x port-based security to keep unauthorized users off the whole network.
The SP6524P Managed PoE switch includes easily maintain, and manage the web configuration pages capability, offering unique online help pages to help users finding the correct setup quickly. And it also provides a useful web page to help the customer enable or disable PoE capability on some gigabit ports by simply clicking and turning PoE on or off within in seconds. By combining the support of these variation Layer 2 features, SP6524P can truly help the customer fulfill the dream of constructing medium and large networks, strengthen network consolidation, or optimize power source utilization without any question.
