The POWERSense In-Line Power Hub provides a safe and efficient way to provide power to VoIP Phones, Wireless LAN Access Points, Web Cameras and other LAN Devices without the use of an external power supply for each device. Power is supplied over the existing LAN data cabling system. This greatly improves the range of installation locations for such devices, no longer requiring them to be located near a power outlet. It also adds an unprecedented level of safety and reliability for powered LAN devices.

When used with an uninterruptible power supply, the POWERSense Hub provides non-stop power for up to 20 connected devices. Continuous operation of powered LAN devices is assured, while costly downtime is avoided. The POWERSense Hub also eliminates the need for costly uninterruptible power supplies to be installed for each powered LAN device, saving time and extra expense.

Features/Benefits:

• Individual power modules, hot swappable in the 19" rackmount ready chassis, use 1 per powered device
• Each module is current limited for short circuit protection with power isolation of 1KV between ports for safety
• Each module has user replaceable fuses for recovery from power surge or lightning damage, quickly repair any module
• Each module auto-detects the power requirement and offers transparent 10/100Mb and management operations
• Each module has FOUR diagnostic LED's
• Mix and match modules for compatiblity with IEEE 802.3af or legacy Cisco CDP? powered devices, 24 Volt Protocol or 12 Volt Protocol
• Standard or High Wattage modules available

The BL-8000 POWERSense Hub is a 20 port or 10 port rack-mount chassis with up to 20 individual modules. Each module is Hot-swappable so that modules may be added to the chassis without powering down the unit. For safety, each module has its own DC to DC converter, which is totally voltage isolated from the other ports. Each module is separately fused and protected from any unexpected current surge. If a power surge should occur, either through a building electrical system or lightning strike, the POWERSense Hub takes the force and helps protect the valuable equipment attached to it. If the individual power module is damaged due to misuse or very large power surge, the unit may be hot swapped out without powering down the chassis or disconnecting the other devices attached to the other power modules in the chassis.

The POWERSense Hub is tailored to provide maximum value in VoIP network applications. External power supplies normally required for VoIP phones become unnecessary. Power is now supplied by the POWERSense Hub System to the phones directly over the existing LAN cabling infrastructure. A device detection circuit provides invaluable protection from over-voltage damage when connecting expensive devices to the network such as VoIP phones or laptops.

The POWERSense family also includes a ten port model, and a single port model for powering smaller concentrations of devices. POWERSense accessory products include connectors necessary for use with some VoIP Phones.
