30 ComNet Europe is introducing the CopperLine product line to bring to market its expanded Ethernet over existing copper media transmission product offering which includes multiple-channel Ethernet extenders, un-managed Ethernet switches and PoE mid-span power injectors. These products, designed for applications where existing copper media, such as coaxial cable or twisted pair (UTP), is currently installed, are a cost-effective alternative to installing new media.

According to ComNet Europe managing director Steve Clarke: "CopperLine will consist of one, four, eight and 16 channel models that use coaxial cable or twisted pair. The higher port count models solve density challenges, allowing up to 16 channels to be supported in a single RU high rack-mount chassis.

CopperLine will also offer a unique un-managed switch that allows four ports of 10/100TX Ethernet to be transported for extended distance over a single coaxial cable or UTP."

    Unbroken service Technolution's Winifred Roggekamp and Dave Marples describe efforts to upgrade the Westerscheldetunnel's tolling system to give free-flow capability. Until 2003 the Flanders region of Zeeland, in the south-west of the Netherlands, was connected to the mainland only by ferry. The new Westerscheldetunnel, a 6.6km toll tunnel, improves communications with the region considerably, taking some 100km off the alternative road journey. In 2006 it was recognised that the toll plaza for the tunnel ne

  • Moxa's PoE switches built for harsh environments
    June 5, 2018
    The challenge for surveillance systems is to ensure Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switches provide high-power output and sufficient network bandwidth while remaining available and reliable. They must do so even when operating in extreme environments such as high temperatures, much noise and potentially high cybersecurity risks. To meet this challenge, Moxa says it launched its EDS-P506E-4PoE series of PoE switches. As well as being exceptionally rugged, each of the switch's four ports deliver up to 60W to powe
