The switches use M12 and other circular connectors to ensure tight, robust connections, and guarantee reliable operation in industrial environments where vibration and shock are commonplace. The TN-5508A-8PoE series Ethernet switches have 8 Fast Ethernet M12 ports with 8 IEEE 802.3at/af compliant PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) ports. The PoE switches are classified as power source equipment (PSE); they provide up to 30 watts of power per port, and can be used to power IEEE 802.3at/af compliant powered devices (PDs), such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and IP phones. The 24 to 110 VDC wide power input range and isolated power inputs not only allow you to use the same type of power source at different sites around the globe, but also increase the reliability of your communications system. Furthermore, the -40 to 75°C operating temperature and IP54-rated waterproof enclosure allow deployment in harsh environments. The TN-5500A series Ethernet switches are compliant with mandatory sections of the EN 50155 standard covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration, as well as conformal coating and power insulation, making the switches suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
