The NVT Phybridge FLEX8 plug-and-play long reach PoE Switch is a versatile, high-powered, enterprise-class solution with 8 downlink ports delivering fast Ethernet (100Mbps full duplex, symmetrical) and PoE++ (50Wper port) over multi-pair UTP for up to 2,000ft (610m) - that's 6Xs the distance of typical PoE switches. The FLEX8 switch has two, 1Gb uplink ports for daisy chain deployments and comes standard with a 190W external power supply and a universal mounting kit for wall or rack mounting.
FLEX8 is designed to make the migration to IP quick, easy and cost-effective by leveraging 1-, 2- or 4-pair UTP infrastructure. FLEX8 is an enabler of Modern LAN principles and is IoTG certified. Benefits include:
- Accelerating your return on investment by reducing infrastructure costs.
- Collapsing planning and deployment time.
- Eliminating infrastructure barriers, risks, disruption and costs.
- Creating a robust IP platform that is easy to configure, deploy and manage.
Unlike other Network Switches, FLEX8 Delivers:
Speed, Reach and PowerThe FLEX8 switch leverages new or existing 1-, 2- or 4-pair UTP cable. It can operate in standard mode (without an adapter) up to 328ft (100m), and in long reach PoE mode (with an adapter) for extended reach to 2,000ft (610m). The FLEX8 switch auto detects data rate for maximum bandwidth and transmission distance. It is equipped with a speed toggle which can be positioned to force 10Mbps when necessary to establishing a link.
