PD-3501G/AC-EU Single-Port PoE Injector

The single-port PD-3501G/AC-EU PoE midspan injector from Microchip Technology offers a compact and cost-effective IEEE 802.3af compliant solution for powering IP phones, wireless local area network (WLAN) access points, network cameras, and other IP terminal devices. The compact and affordable PD-3501G provides reliable power over standard Ethernet cables, leaving existing network infrastructure completely unaltered. With plug-and-play installation, the PD-3501G can be easily and cost-effectively implemented leveraging the existing Ethernet infrastructure while at the same time providing the assurance of a future proof network.

With the emergence and exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), there are new opportunities for PoE technology in many applications. Several wireless technologies use PoE, such as WLAN, LoRa®, backhaul, and 5G. PoE is also emerging in smart building applications, including human-centric lighting. As the industry adopts the latest generation of PoE technology for managing data and power over a single Ethernet cable, users face the challenge of making pre-standard powered devices (PDs) work alongside new IEEE 802.3bt-compliant PDs. Microchip has eased this transition with a unique power sourcing equipment (PSE) chipset solution that enables both pre-standard and IEEE-compliant PDs over the same Ethernet network infrastructure.
