Industrial PoE Ring Switch
A Perfect Full PoE+ Power Solution Ideal for Hardened Environment
With Plug and Play design, PLANET IFGS-624PTF Industrial-grade, DIN-rail type Unmanaged Fast Ethernet PoE+ Switch, featuring 4 IEEE 802.3at PoE+10/100BASE-TX ports and two 1000BASE-X SFP fiber ports for uplink connection, allows to automatically detect and configure internal and external peripherals. With a rugged IP40 metal housing and 12-54V redundant power system for a total power budget of up to 120 watts for different kinds of PoE applications, the IFGS-624PTF also operates efficiently in harsh environments, with an operating temperature range of -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.
In response to the growing demand for IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) infrastructure, the IFGS-624PTF is designed for easy deployment of industrial networks with its Plug and Play capability. Furthermore, it ensures stable and reliable fast data and power transmission. The IFGS-624PTF also supports PROFINET traffic pass-through with QoS, making it an ideal choice for integrating with industrial automation systems and enhancing communication between devices in a factory setting.
Fast Recovery for Industrial Ethernet Transmission Applications
The IFGS-624PTF supports the super-fast, fault-tolerant ring redundancy technology and features strong rapid self-recovery capability to prevent interruptions and external intrusions. Its dual SFP ports incorporate the advanced ring data recovery through DIP switch technology and redundant power input system into customer’s industrial automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime in harsh environments. In a simple Ring network with 8 units, the recovery time of data link can be as fast as 1ms.
Due to differences in design between the IFGS-624PTF’s One Key Ring and the ERPS Ring functions available on PLANET Industrial Managed Switch devices, the two functions are not compatible with each other. The IFGS-624PTF’s One Key Ring function offers easier and faster deployment with DIP switch adjustments.
PROFINET Traffic with Higher Delivery Priority
The IFGS-624PTF features a brand-new function that enhances support for recognizing the PROFINET traffic for higher delivery priority. Once the IFGS-624PTF receives the PROFINET traffic, it will forward the PROFINET traffic first, and then handle other Ethernet traffic. With this enhanced function, the IFGS-624PTF will become the ideal Industrial Unmanaged Switch for the faster PROFINET traffic.
Convenient and Reliable Power System
To facilitate the 802.3at PoE+ usage with the commonly-used 12~54V DC power input for transportation and industrial-level applications, the IFGS-624PTF adopts the 12~54V DC to 54V DC power boost technology to solve power source issue but does not require special power supplies. Its wide-ranging voltages design is suitable for worldwide operability with high- availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
802.3at PoE+ Power and Ethernet Data Transmission Extension
The IFGS-624PTF has a built-in solid DIP switch providing “Standard” and “Extend” operation modes for 802.3at PoE+ ports (Port 1 to Port 4). By default, the IFGS-624PTF operates as a normal IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ Switch in the “Standard” operation mode. In the “Extend” operation mode, the IFGS-624PTF operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps full duplex and can support 25-watt PoE power output over a distance of up to 250 meters, overcoming the 100-meter limit of Ethernet UTP cable.
Fiber Optic Link Capability Enables Extension of Network Deployment
The IFGS-624PTF’s two SFP ports are compatible with 1000BASE-X SFP (small form factor pluggable) fiber-optic transceivers. The fiber optic uplink capability guarantees the throughput to all nodes hooked into the network and the Gigabit Ethernet distance can be extended from 550 meters (Multi-mode fiber cable) to 120 kilometers (Single-mode fiber cable). They are well suited for applications within the factory data centers and distributions.
Thus, building a network solution of FTTH (Fiber to the Home), FTTC (Fiber to the Curb) for ISPs or FTTB (Fiber to the Building) for enterprises becomes so easy to users when long-distance deployment is employed. The IFGS-624PTF can handle extremely large amounts of data in a secure topology linking to a metro switch, backbone or high-capacity server.
Dual Power Input for High Availability Network System
The IFGS-624PTF features a strong dual power input system with wide-ranging voltages (12V~54V DC) incorporated into customer’s automation network to enhance system reliability and uptime. In the example below, when power supply 1 fails to work, the hardware failover function will be activated automatically to keep powering the IFGS-624PTF via power supply 2 alternatively without any loss of operation.
Robust Protection
The IFGS-624PTF provides a contact discharge of ±6KV DC and air discharge of ±6KV DC for Ethernet ESD protection. It also supports ±6KV surge immunity to improve product stability and protects users’ networks from devastating ESD attacks, making sure the flow of operation does not fluctuate.
Intelligent LED Indicator for Real-time PoE Usage
The IFGS-624PTF helps users to monitor the current status of PoE power usage easily and efficiently by its advanced LED indication. Called “PoE Power Usage”, the front panel of the IFGS-624PTF has four orange LEDs indicating 30W, 60W, 90W and 120W of PoE power usage.
Flexible and Easy Installation with Limited Space
The compact-sized IFGS-624PTF is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as wall enclosure. It can be installed by fixed wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible and easier in any space-limited location.
