TP-POE Series – PoE Power Sources

Tycon Power's TP-POE Power over Ethernet (PoE) power sources are quality midspan power sources for years of reliable operation even in the toughest conditions. They accept data-in to a shielded RJ45 jack and provide surge protected data-out and power on the shielded RJ45 output jack. They work by supplying power to the remote device on the unused Ethernet pins 4,5 (V+) and 7,8 (V-). For the R model, the voltage is reversed [4,5 (V-) and 7,8 (V+)]. The Ethernet specification supports distances up to 100 m (328 feet).

There are models available that support 802.3af and 802.3at as well as models that support Gigabit Ethernet. The units are auto-ranging so that they accept AC inputs from 90 V_AC to 264 V_AC (50/60 Hz) and they supply regulated DC voltage at the output. They have various protections for surge, short circuit, overload, and overvoltage. The medium power models (TP-POE) have power output up to 24 W and the high-power models (TP-POE-HP) up to 50 W. They are available in 18 V, 24 V, and 48 V_DC to 56 V_DC output with load regulation within 5%. The CI model has a special current sense LED which changes color when a PoE device is plugged onto the CAT5 cable.

If the remote device does not support Power over Ethernet, splitters (POE-SPLT-S) are available to split the data and DC voltage at the remote device. If the remote device requires reverse voltage, the POE-XOVER cable can be used.
