Comtrol Debuts Industrial Managed PoE Plus Switch

Nov 17, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Comtrol, a developer of device connectivity technologies, announced it has introduced the RocketLinx ES7506 Industrial Managed PoE Plus Switch.

According to Comtrol, this newest addition to the RocketLinx family of switches is designed for applications such as IP surveillance, security and transportation, where power sources are not conveniently located. Each of the four Power over Ethernet (PoE) ports delivers up to 30 watts, supporting the new IEEE802.3at standard. The RocketLinx ES7506 switch puts users in command of their devices with its intelligent PoE control and schedule management capabilities.

"The RocketLinx ES7506 really changes the game when it comes to where users place your devices," said Bradford Beale, VP of global sales for Comtrol. "When setting up an IP camera or wireless access point, for instance, users can choose the optimum location for the application, versus mounting the device closest to an available power source." Remote control and management of PoE applications reduce the need for costly service calls and unplanned system downtime. Tasks like configuring ports, rebooting a device that has failed or implementing Green power scheduling can be controlled via SNMP, web interface or the included RocketLinx NetVision management software. Additionally, the switch features two uplink ports that support redundant ring network topologies.
