IMC Networks Boosts Speed and Power with New PoE and PoE+ Giga-McBasic Media Converters

Multi-port fiber to copper converters extend 10/100/1000 Mbps copper networks over fiber up to 100 kilometers, delivering data and power to remote devices over standard Category 5 cable
Washington, D.C., FOSE Conference & Exposition April 3, 2012, IMC Networks, a leading manufacturer of low cost media converters and Ethernet fiber optic access solutions, today announced the expansion of its Power over Ethernet offerings with the new PoE and PoE+ Giga-McBasic media converters. Employing IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+), the new products deliver data and power (15.4 Watts and 25.5 Watts, respectively) to all compatible PoE and high-power PoE+ devices. Of the many benefits customers have when using our PoE and PoE+ devices is that they will save money since they dont need to install electrical outlets at locations where their PoE/PoE+ compatible PTZ cameras, 802.11n access points, etc are located. This makes the installations faster, easier and much more cost-effective, explains Juan Sanchez, Technical Sales Engineer at IMC Networks. PoE and PoE+ supported hardware such as Pan-Tilt-Zoom security cameras, WiFi access points, IP video phones and displays are just a few of the devices that can be driven by the PoE and PoE+ Giga-McBasic. Multiple configurations make these low cost, space-saving Gigabit solutions perfect for installations inside buildings where PoE is required to power an Ethernet device. Availability and Pricing The PoE Giga-McBasic and PoE+ Giga-McBasic are scheduled to ship in Q2. Model 852-10811 lists for $460 and 852-10911 lists for $530, respectively.
