PoE Switch Targets Security and Surveillance

Ethernet Direct has launched the CUE-500E-HP, a high-power industrial Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch that is designed for applications in the security and surveillance industries. The enhancement of the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ is to increase the amount of power that can be supplied from power source equipment (PSE) to the powered device (PD) via the Cat-5, Cat-5e, Cat-6 unshielded twisted pair wiring. The CUE-500E-HP attempts to bring the power supplied up to at least 25-30W per port.

With the IEEE 802.3at standard, there will be more PD available for PoE applications such as security IP camera with pan/tilt/zoom capabilities, door controllers, point-of-sale terminals, videophones, and dual-band wireless access points. The Cobra Series CUE-500E-HP is an industrial five-port high-power unmanaged PoE switch. It supports four PoE injector ports classified as PSE. CUE-500E-HP provides 25W of power per port and can be used to power IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at compliant PD by Cat5 cables and eliminates the need for additional power wiring.

The compact switch is equipped with a relay output for an event alarm. It offers 48VDC redundant power inputs design and is secured with power polarity reverse protection and overload protection. The IP30 housing protection, extended operating temperature of -40C to +80C, and DIN rail mounting make the CUE-500E-HP suitable for industrial environments. It is a plug-and-play solution for PoE applications.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
