 BOOKS OPEN: 10th MARCH 2003 

 

Power-up your network with Power over Ethernet

 

3Com has combined the draft standards based Power over Ethernet technology (IEEE-P802.3af) with the advanced features, simplicity and style of the Switch 4400 series to create the 24 port SuperStack® 3 Switch 4400 PWR. 

The highly compact stackable 1-RU design provides power and data over a single cable to any compliant device; including 3Com NBX, Wireless LAN and Network Jack products.

Power Over Ethernet eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling and cuts the total installation time and cost significantly, helping to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership, especially when paired with Voice over IP solutions, like 3Com NBX.

Benefit

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet simplifies installation of networking devices such as IP Phones, Wireless Access Points and 3Com Network Jacks helping to decrease the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).  The In-line power switch eliminates the cost for additional electrical cabling and cuts the total installation time significantly.

In-Line (End-Span) Power over Ethernet

Power and Data are totally integrated into one unit, saving rack space, excess cabling and the need for multiple backup systems.

Centralized Power Management and Monitoring

Power to all IP-phones, WLAN Access Points and Network Jacks can be configured and monitored from a single secure location.

Centralized Power Backup protection

All powered devices on the network can be backed up via a 3Com SuperStack Redundant Power System (RPS).  Data and Power will continue with no disruption to the network, even in the event of a complete internal power failure.

Standards Based Power over Ethernet

The product is compliant to the IEEE P802.3af draft specification.  Customers are not tied to a single vendor.

Automatic 3Com NBX detection and configuration

NBX phones are automatically powered and given high priority in order to maintain optimum voice quality.

Power Metering

Power meters show peak, min and average power consumption to help administrators budget and check on any faulty equipment. 

Advanced Power Management

Power can be monitored and controlled on a per port basis.  Alarms can be sent to the administrator if any powered device in the network develops a fault, and a detailed description of the type of fault is shown in the management interface.

Mix and Match Stacking

Add power to the network easily without the need for a fork lift upgrade.  Simply expand the existing Switch 4400 stack  with the Switch 4400 PWR using the same modules.

Advanced Power Control

Power can be enabled, disabled and limited on a per port basis to allow the administrator to lock down and secure the network from abuse.  Power can even be guaranteed to specific devices that are mission critical.
