The Edgecore ECIS4500 series are managed industrial Gigabit Ethernet switches for upgrading the existing Fast Ethernet network infrastructure to full Gigabit speed. Gigabit Ethernet networks provide a higher bandwidth than the legacy Fast Ethernet networks and reduces the response time for time-sensitive applications. ECIS4500 PoE series are managed industrial PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet switches and are able to deliver up to 30 watts of power per port along with data over standard Ethernet cabling. The switches can be used to power any IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant PoE PD devices, and include PoE power management features that ease the deployment effort and PoE power budget planning, as well as eliminating the need for additional wiring to reach a power source.
