The new Hirschmann™ OCTOPUS switches with integrated power supply are available in managed and unmanaged versions. They therefore enable solutions to be better optimized to suit different requirements. In addition, devices can be powered efficiently via PoE Plus. All versions require significantly less space than switches with an external power supply and the cabling effort is also reduced.
In other words, potential sources of error are reduced, thus increasing reliability. The OCTOPUS switches from Hirschmann™ also set new standards for robustness, since they are affected neither by Arctic cold nor by tropical heat. In addition, they fulfill the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) and fire prevention requirements of European standards governing use in rail vehicles.
Applications
The Hirschmann™ OCTOPUS switches with integrated power supply are especially designed for use in transport vehicles. This is because these compact network devices can be installed in trains, subway vehicles or buses without any problem, even though the space available for installation is usually comparatively limited. The switches support PoE-Plus and can supply devices that require power levels of up to 22 W.
