PD-90XXG
PoE Midspans Multi-Port User Guide
Introduction
Microchip’s family of Power over Ethernet (PoE) Midspans PD-90XXG series inject power over data-carrying
Ethernet cabling. Employing these devices reduces the need for AC outlets, local UPS, and AC/DC adapters near
Powered Devices (PDs).
PD-9006G/9012G/9024G Midspans support 6, 12, or 24 ports in a 10/100/1000BaseTx Ethernet network
respectively, over TIA/EIA-568 category 5/5e/6 cabling. The PD-90XXG family can provide up to 30 W (or 36 W
in Extra Power mode) according to the new PoE standard, IEEE
®
802.3at. DC power is supplied over the spare pairs
of wires within a cable (4/5 and 7/8) to terminal units.
PoE Midspan normally powers devices that are PoE enabled or are equipped to receive PoE. These devices are
called PDs.
PoE Midspans offer the following important features.
• Safe and reliable power over an existing Ethernet infrastructure
• Remote management using web control and/or SNMPv3.
• High-level of network security.
• Safe solution that protects network infrastructure.
• Standards compliant: IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at.
• Provides safe Power and Data over a single RJ45 cable.
