Reduced installation costs & easier connection
13 February 2017
Wieland Electric is expanding its range of industrial network solutions with the introduction of the wienet UMS 8-4PoE-W Ethernet switch.

The switch has eight Fast Ethernet ports, four of which are PoE (Power over Ethernet) capable with an injector function. wienet UMS 8-4PoE-W switches are ideally suited for use with network devices that require little power, for example IP cameras. The joint transfer of energy and data on an Ethernet cable simplifies installation and reduces the cost of the network.
wienet UMS 8-4PoE-W is equipped with broadcast-storm and Ethernet ESD, in addition to power line EFT protection, thus preventing network disturbances and outages. Up to 15.4 W power at 48 V DC can be fed per PoE port according to IEEE 802.3af.
The switches can be operated in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 75 °C and boast a robust metal IP30 rated housing that has very good EMC properties. The 24 V/48 V DC power supply inputs with signalling relay ensures reliable operation of complex industrial networks. In addition to wienet UMS 8-4PoE-W, Wieland Electric also offers a compact 5-port switch and a 16-port light managed switch.
Wieland’s wienet UMS 8-4PoE-W is ideally suited for use with public/private wireless networks, roadside IP cameras, VoIP ‘phones, digital signage and any situation where reaching the power outlet is problematic.
