Long Reach PoE／PoC Solution

Designed for upgrading the traditional CCTV surveillance system to IP surveillance system over the existing cables, PLANET Long Reach PoE／PoC Solution (LRP Solution) is perfect for deployments in wide-ranging environments, such as tunnels, highway systems, hypermarkets, department stores, large parking lots, residential communities, factories and more. This innovative solution can extend IP Ethernet transmission and inject power simultaneously over any existing coaxial, UTP, twisted-pair cable or telephone wires for distance up to 1,000m into PoE IP camera, PoE wireless AP and any 802.3af/at complied powered device (PD). Accordingly, it eliminates the need for an additional power supply for remote sites when the existing single power source enables to provide power to both Long Reach PoE extenders and the PDs at long range.

PLANET LRP Solution also features point to point and point to multipoint advanced L2/L4 networking management and unique PoE intelligent energy-saving functions like PD alive check, scheduled power recycling, over temperature protection, and time-based PoE schedule to improve the availability of critical business applications and help companies to save power and money.

The products of PLANET Long Reach PoE／PoC Solution include Industrial-grade and Multi-port LRP Switches with intelligent PoE management, Single-port LRP Injectors and Splitters that can efficiently extend the deployment of long reach networks for all establishments and industries.

16-port Ultra PoE Managed Gigabit Switch (GS-4210-16UP4C)

To address the high power consumption of the speed dome IP camera and the POS system, PLANET innovatively developed the GS-4210-16UP4C as the first 16-port 60-watt ultra PoE managed switch compliant with the latest international IEEE 802.3bt standard. It is integrated with such intelligent PoE management functions as PD alive check, scheduled power recycling, PoE schedule and over temperature protection for manager to centralize all powered devices to enhance the efficient management of powered devices in the network.

The GS-4210-16UP4C also features L2/L4 management functions and dual independent power system for PoE usages, and switch operating system to ensure the system operates normally. Thus, the GS-4210-16UP4C is the best solution for retailers, restaurants, hospitals, banks, enterprises, buildings, industries, and more where both power and data transmission can be stably had.
