Ethernet Direct Announces a Popular Cost Effective Industrial PoE Switch CUE-500 Recognized in IP Surveillance Applications

The modern day technology integrates IP-based surveillance systems. Traditionally, the deployment of cabling for security systems is known to be an expensive process from providing power distribution to CCTV cameras, multiplexers, DVR, UPS etc. With Power over Ethernet, IP-based surveillance systems allow users to save over 65% compared to traditional analog installations. IP surveillance solutions facilitate real time video recording, identification, transmission and sharing to the network. Speed and bandwidth becomes a consideration to fulfill video streamlining requirement and Ethernet based networks posed to be the best alternative.

PoE is a revolutionary technology that integrates data, voice and power over standard LAN infrastructure. With combined capabilities of an unmanaged Ethernet switch and a PoE power injector, the 5 port CUE-500 is equipped with 4 PoE ports that are capable of supplying up to 15.4 watts of power per port. In addition, each port can automatically detect when PoE compliant devices are attached, before supplying power, allowing the use of traditional (non-PoE) Ethernet devices if needed.
The ability to provide real reference applications makes Ethernet Direct the acclaimed preference in any Industrial applications. Installations of CUE-500 from Ethernet Direct have been widely recognized in IP Surveillance networks and gaining momentum in industrial applications where high performance, professional technical support and costs is concerned. The compact, slim line CUE-500 is equipped with a relay output for an event alarm for easy troubleshooting, with dual 12 to 48 VDC power inputs, 4,000 VDC Ethernet ESD protection, power line surge (EFT) protection of 3,000 VDC, and features an operating temperature range of -10 to 70°C to ensure system uptime. The “E” version extends the temperature rating to -40 to 80 deg C.
