DIGISOL launches 5 port fast Ethernet unmanaged switch

As demand for IP surveillance, IP phones, wireless is increasing DIGISOL Systems Ltd., has announced its new Fast Ethernet PoE unmanaged switch DG-FS1005PH-A. The DG-FS1005PH-A provides both data connection and electrical power to PoE enabled devices through just one cable without modifying the existing Ethernet infrastructure.

The DG-FS1005PH-A offers 5 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports of which 4 ports are Power over Ethernet (PoE) compliant to IEEE 802.3af/IEEE 802.3at. The PoE ports can be used to power up devices complying with 802.3af & 802.3at uses the existing Ethernet cable. All 4 POE ports support both IEEE802.3af & IEEE802.3at Standard. The switch uses to store and forward packet switching technology which ensures reliable data transfer. The switch also supports automatic MDI/MDI-X detection which eliminates the need of crossover cables or dedicated uplink ports. This switch supports built-in DIP switch which can extend Ethernet connectivity up to 200m at 10Mbps link speed for PoE ports to satisfy Video Surveillance requirement. You can also enable VLAN mode depending on DIP switch combination set on the switch.

The DG-FS1005PH-A Switch offers 5x10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet ports with 4 Power over Ethernet ports. These PoE ports are IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant and can supply PoE Power to PoE devices. The existing Ethernet cables can be used to power up IEEE 802.3af/ 802.3at compliant network devices. This eliminates the need for an external power source and power cabling for such devices. The switch provides flexibility to users for connecting a PoE or non-PoE device. The PoE devices connected to switch can be easily identified by the separate PoE LED status indicators.

The auto-negotiation and auto-sensing feature of the switch eliminates the need to manually configure the switch for optimum performance. Auto MDI/MDI-X feature eliminates the need of using a crossover cable or dedicated uplink port. These features enable the switch to operate out of the box without any manual configuration.

With its backplane capacity of 1Gbps, data transfer is at an average of 200Mbps per port at full duplex mode. This allows every node to perform at their maximum performance. This switch supports built-in DIP switch which extends Ethernet connectivity up to 200m at 10Mbps link speed for PoE ports to satisfy Video Surveillance requirement. You can also enable VLAN mode depending on DIP switch combination set on the switch. In VLAN mode, ports 1-4 will only communicate with the uplink port. It will work as a normal 10/100Mbps PoE switch with all DIP switch in OFF mode.
