If you are looking for a PoE+ switch that can provide high power and data transmission over Ethernet cables in harsh industrial environments, you may want to check out the IGS-624HPT from PLANET Technology. The IGS-624HPT is an industrial-grade, DIN-rail type unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch with four 10/100/1000BASE-T ports featuring IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and two extra 100/1000/2500BASE-X SFP fiber optic interfaces for uplink connection. In this blog post, we will introduce the key features, specifications, and applications of this switch and explain why it is a cost-effective and reliable solution for your industrial network.

Key Features of IGS-624HPT

The IGS-624HPT has the following key features that make it stand out from other PoE+ switches:

• High power PoE+: The IGS-624HPT can deliver up to 30W of power per port and up to 120W of power for the whole system, which can support high power consuming devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and card readers. It also has intelligent LED indicators to show the real-time PoE power usage.
• Flexible fiber optic uplink: The IGS-624HPT has two mini-GBIC slots that support SFP auto-detection and dual speed. It can support various SFP modules such as 100BASE-FX, 1000BASE-SX/LX, and 2500BASE-X, which can extend the network distance from 550 meters to 120 kilometers depending on the SFP module used.
• Adjustable switch mode or fiber redundant mode: The IGS-624HPT has a built-in DIP switch that can configure the switch as a 6-port Gigabit Ethernet switch or a 4+2 fiber redundant mode. The 6-port Gigabit switch mode provides high performance and non-blocking wire-speed transmission. The 4+2 fiber redundant mode provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for critical Ethernet applications and supports auto-recovering function.
• Wide range of power input and boost technology: The IGS-624HPT can accept a wide range of power input from 12V to 54V DC, which makes it compatible with worldwide operability. It also adopts 48V DC to 52V DC power boost technology to solve the power source issue for high power PoE+ output without requiring special power supplies.
• Redundant power system: The IGS-624HPT has two DC power input connectors for redundant power supply installation. It can prevent the network from power failure and ensure reliable operation.
• Environmentally hardened design: The IGS-624HPT has an IP30 metal industrial case that provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges. It can operate reliably in a wide temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C and withstand vibration, shock, free fall, and humidity.

 Applications of IGS-624HPT

The IGS-624HPT can be applied in various industrial scenarios, such as:

• Surveillance system: The IGS-624HPT can provide high power PoE+ to PTZ cameras and wireless access points over long distances via fiber optic uplink. It can also support fiber redundancy to ensure reliable video transmission and prevent network downtime.
• Factory automation: The IGS-624HPT can connect and power industrial devices such as PLCs, sensors, and actuators over Ethernet cables. It can also withstand harsh environmental conditions such as high temperature, vibration, and electrical surges.
• Transportation: The IGS-624HPT can be installed in vehicles or roadside cabinets to provide PoE+ to devices such as IP cameras, card readers, and LED signs. It can also accept a wide range of power input from 12V to 54V DC and support power boost technology for high power PoE+ output.
