The Ruggedcom RST2228P can support up to 24 PoE ports, as per the IEEE 802.3bt standard. The Ruggedcom RPS2410 is a rugged power supply that can supply up to 600 W of PoE power, and it is designed to power the utilitygrade RST2228P 19-inch rackmount layer 2 Ethernet switch with 10 Gbps uplinks. This pair makes for a versatile, high-power, high bandwidth networking solution for physical security, access control, wireless connectivity, smart signage, lighting, and other data intensive PoE applications. Users can connect a maximum of three Ruggedcom RPS2410 power supplies in parallel for redundant operation or to provide up to 1560 W of PoE power. It supplies sufficient power to prevent under-powering and overloading, improving the safety and reliability of the entire network. The Ruggedcom RST2228P can support up to 24 PoE ports, as per the IEEE 802.3bt standard, delivering a maximum of 60 W/port. The high port density of the RST2228P provides PoE power management and connectivity to a large number of end devices such as pan-tiltzoom (PTZ) cameras, wireless radio access points, VoIP phones, sensors, key-less access terminals, etc. While PoE is capable of direct linking with

every device, the right solution involves factors such as data, power and cost. Many end devices in industrial applications have a very simple data interface. Moreover, for most edge devices the final link will continue to be serial. The task of equipping these simple edge devices with the right processing power to connect direct to
the Ethernet, plus the expense of needing a separate port for each of them, makes PoE connectivity the logical choice for industrial networks. Siemens Visit Website
TSN Ethernet switching devices Microchip’s LAN9668x family of Ethernet switches enables a single network architecture and, combined with its new LAN8814 PHYs, reduces system cost and risk for designers while speeding time to market. Factory automation is increasing efficiencies, from reducing handling and storage to improving throughput. Connected warehouses and other industrial ecosystems with converged IT and OT architectures rely on Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) and Ethernet for precise timing, synchronization and connectivity of devices including cameras, bar code readers, scanners and conveyors. These ecosystems require next-generation network technology to interconnect device, sensor and equipment communication. To meet this requirement, Microchip announced the LAN9668 family of TSN switching devices delivering IEEE standardscompliant features in the industry’s first switching solution enabling lower latency data traffic flows and greater clock accuracy. Microchip’s LAN9668-I/9MX and LAN9668-9MX devices are 8-port switches for industrial and commercial applications,
