Industrial managed PoE switches have evolved from basic power devices to intelligent network cores:
●Early Stage (pre-2010): 802.3af (15.4W/port), 0~50℃, no management.
●Smart Phase (2010-2020): VLAN/QoS, 802.3at (30W), wide-temperature (-20~70℃).
●Convergence Era (2020+): TSN support, ERPS redundancy, OPC UA integration for OT/IT convergence.
Technical Innovations of CL-IMC408MP
●Industrial Robustness
-40°C~75°C Operation: Aerospace-grade aluminum housing (IP40) with fanless cooling.
Dual Redundant Power: 48~57VDC input (±30% tolerance), MTBF>200,000 hours.
●High-Density PoE+
8×PoE++ Ports: 30W/port (IEEE 802.3bt), 240W total for PTZ cameras/industrial APs.
Smart Power Allocation: Priority-based load shedding.
●Hybrid Gigabit Networking
4×SFP Ports: 20km SM/2km MM fiber for ERPS ring networks<20ms failover="">
L2+ Management: VLAN, QoS, port mirroring for real-time control.
