POWER OVER ETHERNET PORTFOLIO WITH SCALANCE AND RUGGEDCOM

More power and data for industrial applications.

The reliability and cost-effectiveness of providing data and power over a single cable have driven the adoption of Power over Ethernet (PoE) in industry. Siemens is leading this trend with Scalance XC-200PoE, XR-100PoE WG, XR-300PoE WG and the utility-grade Ruggedcom RST916P and RST2228P Industrial Ethernet switches.

PoE-capable Scalance X switches are used in various sectors including automation technology, infrastructure and tunnel applications, and transportation. The existing 8-port versions of the Scalance XC-200 line are added with different Scalance XC216-3G PoE devices with 19 ports. This permits a maximum power budget of 300 W that can be individually distributed to the PoE ports. With a total of 14 PoE ports – 12 with up to 30 W of power and two with up to 60 W, end devices can be optimally connected, for example, in automotive production.

For a PoE solution that needs to withstand harsh conditions and temperature fluctuations from –40°C to +85°C, the Ruggedcom portfolio offers several high PoE port density and high bandwidth options. For space-constrained locations, especially transportation networks, the compact, 16-port RST916P layer 2 Ethernet switch with a total PoE power budget of 420 W is ideal. The 500 W-capable Ruggedcom RST2228P is excellently suited for a rack PoE solution. It can be powered with the Ruggedcom RPS2410, a 600 W rackmount PoE power supply. 10 Gbps uplinks, redundant power input, and gigabit bandwidth over distances exceeding 100 km ensure reliable communications for mission-critical applications.
