Introduction

Functions and Features

The BL-89220ENT, BL-89420ENT, BL-89520ENT, BL-89620ENT, and BL-89720ENT

20-port Mid-Span Power Hub and the BL-89210ENT and BL-89710ENT 10-port Mid-Span Power Hub support applications in which AC power is difficult to access, such as VoIP phones, wireless LAN access points or Internet security cameras.

The Enterasys 20-port and 10-port Mid-Span Power Hubs act as “patch panels” and add ~48 VDC to unused (non-data) wires in standard Category 5, 5e, or 6 Ethernet cable. The power unit delivers both data and power over a single standard Ethernet cable.

Main features of the 20-port and 10-port Mid-Span Power Hubs include:

•Fully hot-swappable modules

•Remote power feeding; powered devices receive power over the Ethernet cable

•Centralized power distribution; one powered device can be connected to a single in- line unit

•IEEE 802.3af standard powering scheme

•Acts as a normal patch panel and places ~48 VDC on unused Ethernet pins

•Total power available: 15.6W per port per IEEE specification

•Automatic power-control circuitry to detect a powered device before providing power

•Double-fused power surge protection

Port Indicators

Each port has its own LEDs which display the following:

•Detect (green)

•Fuse blown (yellow)

•Power from chassis (green)

•Power forwarding (green)
