With galvanically isolated Power over Ethernet, the new 5-Port and 8-Port switches from Phoenix Contact “will deliver and outperform existing current POE switches”, according to the industrial networking manufacturer.

“The new switches will be easily mountable using DIN-rail mounting and functions with both SELV and PELV power supplies,” adds the company.

The new product has been designed specifically for factory automation and offers a 5 and 8 port Gigabit PoE switch with an indoor temperature range and a slimmer design, along with a Quality of Service, automation protocol prioritisation and jumbo frame capabilities.
