Phihong High-Power POE Midspan Compatible With Cisco AP1250

April 28, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Phihong USA has introduced a 4-port Gigabit Power-over-Ethernet midspan for high-power applications that is compatible with Cisco’s Aironet 1250 Series Access Points. Designated the POE125U-4HP, the midspan is capable of the proprietary "handshake" required for the AP1250 that tells the access point the midspan is capable of handling high power so it can work at the maximum power range and data rate.

"The POE125U is designed to meet the criteria set by IEEE802.3at for high-power PoE," said Keith Hopwood, Vice President of Marketing, Phihong USA. "More importantly, its compatibility with the Cisco AP1250 ensures full capability so that users can easily and wirelessly access high bandwidth data and applications, with no extra equipment or connections, no matter where they are located."

The POE125U provides up to 36W per each of its four ports with full power of 144W with no power management required. The midspan is Gigabit-compatible for 10/100/1000 Base-T networks and is suitable for VoIP phone, access point, security system and IP camera applications.

Featuring IEEE 802.3af detection and disconnect, as well as pre-standard IEEE802.3at classification, the POE125U-4HP also provides over-voltage, over-current, and short-circuit protection.

Single piece pricing for Phihong’s POE125U 4-port midspan is US$169.
