The MICROSENS PoE injector MS657034X is an industrial-grade network device for powering PoE-capable end devices via Ethernet cable. It belongs to the GbE Industrial Entry Line and is specifically designed for use in demanding industrial environments. The device features two RJ45 connectors, one serving as data input and the other as PoE output with a maximum power of 60 watts. Power supply is provided via an external input range of 48 to 56 volts DC. The housing is made of metal and allows mounting on a DIN rail, facilitating integration into existing enclosures and control systems. The operating temperature range extends from -40 °C to +75 °C, enabling use in extreme environmental conditions such as production halls, outdoor areas, or climate-stressed installations.

Applications

The PoE injector is designed for industrial applications where reliable power supply of network devices via the existing Ethernet network is required. This includes, for example, IP cameras, industrial sensors, access points, or other PoE-capable end devices in factories, logistics centers, or public transport. The robust design and wide temperature range make the device particularly suitable for locations subject to high mechanical stress, vibrations, or extreme temperatures.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The device provides one data input (1x 10/100/1000T) and one PoE output (1x 10/100/1000T), allowing integration into existing Gigabit Ethernet infrastructures. The PoE power output is up to 60 watts, sufficient to power even power-intensive devices such as HD IP cameras or industrial gateways. Power supply is via an external DC input in the range of 48 to 56 volts, enabling connection to industrial power supplies or 24-volt systems with appropriate converters. The metal housing construction ensures high mechanical stability and heat dissipation.

Technology Explained Simply

A PoE injector transmits electrical power over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply for end devices. This simplifies installation and reduces the number of cables. The MS657034X supports PoE standardization according to IEEE 802.3af/at, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PoE-capable devices. The maximum power of 60 watts falls within the High-Power PoE technology range, enabling power supply to devices requiring more power than the classic 15.4 watts (PoE) or 30 watts (PoE+). The operating temperature range of -40 to +75 °C demonstrates the high robustness of the device, which operates reliably even under extreme conditions.

Compatibility and Accessories

The PoE injector is designed for use in industrial Gigabit Ethernet networks and is compatible with devices supporting the IEEE 802.3af/at standard. Connection is made via RJ45 connectors, enabling data transmission up to 1000 MBit/s (Gigabit Ethernet). Power supply is via an external DC input, allowing connection to existing industrial power supplies.

Mounting and Installation

Mounting is done via a DIN rail, enabling easy integration into enclosures, control cabinets, or industrial rack systems. Installation requires no special tools, as fastening is done via the standard DIN rail. The connection cables (Ethernet and power) are directly connected to the respective sockets. The power supply must be in the range of 48 to 56 volts DC, with the exact voltage varying depending on the application and power supply used.

Operational Advantages

Using the MICROSENS PoE injector reduces the number of required power cables and simplifies the installation of network devices in industrial environments. The high PoE power output of 60 watts enables powering of high-performance devices without requiring additional power supplies. The robust metal housing construction and wide temperature range ensure high reliability under industrial conditions. DIN rail mounting facilitates integration into existing systems and reduces installation time.
