Microchip Technology PDS-204GCO Power over Ethernet Switch

Microchip Technology PDS-204GCO Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch is designed for outdoor use in smart buildings and cities. This switch enables services ranging from public Wi-Fi® and video surveillance to connected streetlights that increasingly need better reliability and cybersecurity protection. The PDS-204GCO adds increased cyber security plus the redundancy required for high network availability in mission-critical applications with long-distance connectivity. The switch includes four PoE Gigabit Ethernet ports that support the IEEE 802.3bt (Type-4) standard and two small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber links that each support 1Gb/s or 2.5Gbps speeds. The fiber links can be used as optical uplink ports for surveillance cameras and as a redundant uplink path for increasing network availability.

Support for ITU-T G.8032 Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS) technology ensures communication continues if there is an uplink link failure. Microchip Technology PDS-204GCO PoE switch also supports multiple network topologies, and multiple units can be linked together using a daisy-chain topology to extend the reach from the main central switches while reducing the number of optical cables directly connected to each device.
