Switch

Replacement for the Designer PoE

The Pharos Switch provides a simple power and networking solution for four Power-over-Ethernet devices.

Technical Details

Simple networking

An unmanaged switch with five 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with standard RJ45 sockets, perfect for connecting power and data between Designer Controllers and Designer Remote Devices. Four ports are enabled for Power-over-Ethernet with an uplink connection to a computer, network or other non-PoE device. Switch comes in a cost-effective low-profile plastic DIN rail enclosure and only requires a 24V DC power supply.

Simple networking

Features

PoE Technology

Combine power and data in a single Ethernet cable using PoE (IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at) technology making it easy to locate your Designer LPCs, TPSs and RIOs where you need them.

Multiple Ports

Use four ports to power and connect multiple Designer controllers or remote devices (or other IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at compliant devices).

No Commissioning

The simple unmanaged switch can be deployed as required, and operates out of the box, with no commissioning required.

Protected

Resettable fuses protect each port with the appropriate level of overcurrent protection for the class of device that is attached.


Flexible

Automatically detects the requirements of the connected device to provide the correct power level.


Scalable

Compatible with all Pharos Designer devices, and can be used with other switches to create larger networks. Read more


Installer Friendly

Made for permanent installation, with installer-friendly 0.200” (5.08mm) plug-in rising clamp terminals, a compact enclosure, and easy DIN-rail and keyhole mounting options.


Auto-detects power requirements for class of PoE device connected

Reliability

Designed for 24/7 operation and total reliability. Designed and manufactured in the UK, with a 5 year warranty.

Network

Unmanaged switch with five 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports with standard RJ45 sockets.

Connections
