About the iMcV-PSE-MidSpan

The iMcV-PSE-MidSpan is an SNMP-manageable, IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) Injector, used to supply current to a PoE-compliant PD (Powered Device). This makes it the perfect solution when installing compliant PDs such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and other end devices (i.e. the IE-MiniMc media converter) where there is no power source in close proximity. The iMcV-PSE-MidSpan installs between a switch/hub and the device requiring power, providing detection, classification and power sourcing to the Powered Device (PD).

The iMcV-PSE-MidSpan has been designed specifically for use with the iMediaChassis series as well as the unmanaged IE-Mediachassis series. Two RJ-45 ports are provided, one for data and one for a combination of data and a Power over Ethernet (PoE) supply.
