MRO-TEK launches Daisy 105 M switches for Ethernet

BANGALORE: MRO-TEK, a major provider of networking products and solutions to access every network has announced the availability of Daisy 105 M, a 5-port mid-span Power over Ethernet (PoE) managed switch, which carries Ethernet network data and extends switched data on user ports along with DC power, beyond the 100 meter limitation of Ethernet technology.

“With millions of switched Ethernet ports sold worldwide, PoE has become one of the largest mainstream technologies to deliver power on Ethernet cables. Interest on this technology development has touched new peaks to cover more and more devices, demanding more power than supported currently. We at MRO-TEK have pioneered over the last few years in building products and solutions that enable customers to procure/ deploy solutions with the leading edge technology at the best possible price-performance ratios on Ethernet.” said Ramakrishnan, V.P. Marketing, MRO-TEK Ltd.

Daisy’s enhanced power carrying capacity and multi-hop connectivity is possible with a proprietary, patent pending implementation of PoE, which allows more current per port, and enabling powering of remote appliances like the IAD, IP phones, switches etc.

Daisy solution consists of three blocks each with a purpose to enable easy rollout & post installation management. 1. Power feeder(PF) or Power source (PS), 2. PoE mid-span switch, 3. Power splitter

“Ethernet distributions are controlled and managed only up to the last mile active Ethernet switches and media converters. Remote devices typically require a power line also to be distributed and this becomes complex where equipments like Wi-Fi radios, surveillance cameras etc. Ethernet based access system demand separate power lines be extended along with data cables, thus making it expensive and complex to manage and maintain. Daisy 105M is positioned to eliminate the separate power line on the Ethernet, by using the DC power to extend beyond 100 meters by cascading units to reach up to 300meters, over standard cabling plant.” said Ramakrishnan.
