If you need access control in an outdoor setting where mains power is not readily accessible, look no further. These Power over Ethernet (PoE) controllers allow for a simple, fast and cost-effective install. You will save time on the need to provide electrical power spurs to controllers. Instead, existing Ethernet structured cabling (Cat 5) is used with a PoE Ethernet switch.
Progeny offer a comprehensive range of P4 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Controllers and matching injector options, as an alternative to “Mains Power”. This technology allows power and data to be passed along the same cable (usually Cat 5e).
The new Controller draws its power from the data cable and can be used in applications where mains power is not readily available. So, no matter how remote or unusual the location, you can still protect your people and premises. The controller will still function even if Ethernet communications are lost, giving you complete peace of mind.
Progeny also offer a 30W output power injector matched to our 4003-17 controllers. These injectors convert standard Ethernet switches to Power over Ethernet.
In the following diagram you can see how this connection method compares to conventional networking. Each controller gets its own IP address as well as a controller ID.
