The TP-POE Power over Ethernet (PoE Injector) power sources, offered by Tycon Power, provide reliable midspan power for years, even in the harshest conditions. These devices accept data input via a shielded RJ45 jack and deliver surge-protected data and power through a shielded RJ45 output jack. They efficiently supply power to the remote device using the unused Ethernet pins 4,5 (V+) and 7,8 (V-). For the “R” model, the voltage is reversed—pins 4,5 (V-) and 7,8 (V+). Additionally, the Ethernet specification supports distances of up to 100m (328 feet).
Tycon offers models that support both 802.3af and 802.3at, as well as those compatible with Gigabit Ethernet. These units are autoranging, meaning they can accept AC inputs ranging from 90VAC to 264VAC (50/60 Hz) and provide regulated DC voltage output. They feature built-in protections against surge, short-circuit, overload, and overvoltage. The medium power models (TP-POE) offer power output up to 24W, while the high power models (TP-POE-HP) provide up to 50W. Available in 18V, 24V, and 48-56V DC outputs, these models feature load regulation within 5%. The CI model includes a special current-sensing LED, which changes color when a PoE device is plugged into the CAT5 cable.
If the remote device does not support Power over Ethernet, PoE splitters (POE-SPLT-S) can easily separate the data and DC voltage at the remote device. Furthermore, for devices requiring reverse voltage, the POE-XOVER cable offers a simple and efficient solution.
