By deploying centralized UPS, PoE Midspans provide a cost-effective way to distribute back-up power
for a single Ethernet terminal. This capability increases
IP telephony service reliability by ensuring that IP phones
keep working in the event of power failures.
In addition to greater network availability, The PD6524
and PD6512 Midspans reduce installation and maintenance
costs by eliminating the need for expensive installation of
standard power cables. This is particularly true in hard-to-reach
places such as ceilings where wireless access points are located.
PoE Midspans sit in tandem to an existing
Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch and connects to standard
Category 5 and above cabling. This architecture protects customer investment
both in Category 5 and above infrastructure and in Ethernet switch equipment.
