🚀 Industrial PoE Midspan: Powering Automation!

[Elif Özaksu]

Microchip Technology is bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of automation! With its new industrial-grade midspan, it simplifies power distribution in demanding production environments.

⚡ Both Power and Data with a Single Cable​

Addressing the increasing needs of industrial automation and remote monitoring systems, the Microchip PD-9601GCI is a single-port midspan. This device eliminates installation complexity by transmitting both power and gigabit data over a single Ethernet cable.

💪 Designed for Harsh Environments​

Compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt standard, this midspan supports up to 90W of power and 10/100/1000 Mbps data speeds. This ensures the smooth operation of high-power devices even in harsh industrial conditions. Furthermore, it simplifies installation in factory environments by eliminating the need for separate electrical outlets near edge devices.

🛡️ Robust and Reliable Structure​

Designed to operate in remote or heavy industrial areas, the PD-9601GCI features an IP30-rated sealed metal casing. This casing is resistant to vibrations and offers reliable performance across a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 75°C. While providing power redundancy with dual DC power inputs (20V - 60V), its integrated industrial-grade surge protection safeguards connected equipment against voltage fluctuations.

⚙️ Easy Integration​

It can be easily integrated into existing control panels with DIN rail, wall, or panel mounting options. This flexibility accelerates installation processes in industrial facilities.
