Advantech introduces the EKI-9300 series with the launch of the EKI-9361P and EKI-9312P. Both are ideal communication solutions for high-bandwidth Ethernet powered devices in industrial applications. They both feature a high power output (up to 30 watts) designed for industrial heavy-duty PoE devices with Gigabit Ethernet capabilities for large bandwidth network transmissions and easy management tools (PoE Power Budget Control) for monitoring PDs as well as industrial-grade reliability to withstand harsh environments. Both are Gigabit managed PoE+ DIN-rail switches equipped with eight or twelve 10/100/1000 Base-T(X), 802.3af (PoE), and 802.3at (PoE+) compliant Ethernet ports and four Gigabit SFP Ethernet fiber ports for data uplinks. They are designed with a series of smart management tools that simplify the process of remotely monitoring and controlling the power devices. The tools include a power management function for system optimization and a diagnostic function to detect PD conditions including failure detection and LED indicators.
