Power over Ethernet (SPoE) solutions that help automate smart buildings and factories

     Analog Devices announced the launch of Long Range Single Pair Power over Ethernet (SPoE) Powered Device (PSE) and Powered Device (PD) solutions to help customers upgrade intelligence in smart buildings, factory automation, and other applications on the edge of traditional networks. This series of solutions supports real-time power management and telemetry, provides low standby power consumption and is easy to install, facilitating "last mile" power connections in factory and building automation applications.

     ADI's new SPoE solutions, LTC4296-1 and LTC9111, address the challenges of providing power and data to devices that can be reached even at remote, hard-to-access endpoints. This solution is designed to seamlessly deliver power and data to new endpoint applications over the network, while providing assessments for local factors such as asset health, environmental conditions, security metrics, and so on. The local awareness and control it provides will be the cornerstone of the digital building of the future.

     ADI's SPoE solution uses a single twisted pair Ethernet cable to provide an efficient, reliable, easy-to-install power source in a smaller and lighter size that reduces reliance on local power and batteries. When used in conjunction with ADI's Chronous™ ADIN1100 and ADIN1110 10BASE-T1L Industrial Ethernet solutions, customers are able to reliably transmit power and data over distances of more than one kilometer, a significant increase over previous Ethernet standards.

     "The Smart Edge has become one of the most exciting developments in the digital age as computing power is pushed into previously unimagined applications and domains," said Leo McHugh, Vice President of ADI's Industrial Automation Business Group. ADI is committed to delivering outstanding technologies and solutions to help customers realize the full potential of the Smart Edge in smart buildings and factories, and in many more applications in the future."

     ADI's new 5-port SPoE PSE LTC4296-1 (with sorting) and SPoE PD LTC9111 (with polarity correction) support single-pair powered SPoE and data line powered (PoDL) versions. SPoE is enhanced on top of Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) to provide a more reliable, fault-tolerant, and interoperable point-to-point power solution with power up to 52W. Both products conform to the 802.3cg standard and support the Serial Communication Classification Protocol (SCCP).
