Versatile RocketLinx Ethernet switch

Comtrol Corporation’s RocketLinx ES7106-VB switch enables easy drop-in PoE (power over ethernet) device connectivity in transportation, factory and industrial settings while the VB (voltage boost) technology provides the capability to power the switch from common 12- and 24-volt supplies. Devices such as IP surveillance cameras, scanners and wireless access points within mobile and industrial settings may be integrated without the use of separate 48V power supplies, while four PoE injector switch ports prov

6970 Comtrol Corporation’s RocketLinx ES7106-VB switch enables easy drop-in PoE (power over ethernet) device connectivity in transportation, factory and industrial settings while the VB (voltage boost) technology provides the capability to power the switch from common 12- and 24-volt supplies.

Devices such as IP surveillance cameras, scanners and wireless access points within mobile and industrial settings may be integrated without the use of separate 48V power supplies, while four PoE injector switch ports provide full 6781 IEEE 802.3af support, enabling connection of a wide range of PoE devices.

Designed for reliable deployment in harsh conditions, with a rugged heat-dissipating IP30-rated industrial aluminum housing, the device features a wide operating temperature range, redundant power inputs, port alarms, and reliable data transmission with support for QoS (quality of service), ensuring high quality video traffic transmission by adjusting the data transfer priority to guarantee throughput performance.

“The ES7106-VB is an excellent solution for transportation security, industrial applications, and IT environments where the ease-of-use and reliability of drop-in PoE connectivity is essential,” says Comtrol’s President, Bradford Beale.

    For many, Ethernet- and IP-based networks are the cast-iron solution to ITS's communications needs. However, there remain issues from manufacturer to manufacturer with interpretation of what are supposed to be common standards The 'promise' of Ethernet was that different devices such as IP video cameras and traffic signals could be easily integrated into communications networks, simplifying the process of transporting data over copper, fibre or wirelessly. However, although Ethernet devices have come to pre

    Video encoder/decoder for challenging applications
    The CNVETX1 video encoder/decoder from UK-based ComNet Europe is designed for those applications suffering or likely to experience extreme temperatures, vibration, shock or irregular voltage and where humidity with condensation are present, says the company. The all-new CNVETX1 is a single channel video encoder/decoder which has been ‘industrially hardened’ for use in the most extreme operating environments. It accepts an incoming baseband video signal with duplex audio and serial data for camera PTZ contro
