Introduction

Microchip’s PD-9001GCO, PD-9501GCO, and PD-9601GCO is a single-port IEEE® 802.3bt Gigabit PoE outdoor midspan that offers a cost-effective, IEEE® 802.3at/bt compliant solution that guarantees 30W/60W/90W of power, and ensures safe and reliable operation in outdoor environments for standard PoE data terminal. These midspans support 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates and are powered through a wide range of AC inputs (100 V_AC to 240 V_AC). These midspans are IP67-rated and have an extended temperature range to be installed outdoors. In a typical installation, the midspans provide power to outdoor devices such as WLAN AP, WLAN Mesh, or an IP Camera.

These units offers surge protection for both the AC and the PoE ports ensuring that the indoor equipment is protected from outdoor surges.

PoE midspan powers devices that are PoE enabled or equipped to receive PoE. These devices are called Powered Devices (PDs).
