Overview
Thank you purchasing your American Fibertek CX-6p-PoE. Please take a few minutes to
read these installation instructions in order to obtain maximum performance from this
product.
The AFI V’NES (Video Network Enterprise Solution) CX-6p-PoE is a 6 port IEEE 802.3
switch which also provides support for environmental monitors. There are 4 ports at
10/100 Base-TX and 2 SFP ports at 1000 Base-X. The SFP ports accept a variety of
SFP optics as well as copper SFP. The 10/100 Base-TX ports provide PoE power at
both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at up to a maximum of 60 watts over an extended
temperature range of -20C to +70C.
The CX-6p-PoE also accommodates serial data and contact I/O signals to be made
accessible on and linked over a network, with CX-6p-PoE devices acting as transparent
bridges to link together customer equipment. This permits contact closure signals –
such as door opening sensors, alarm buttons, or motion detectors – to be linked to
remote alarm annunciation, or serial data sources such as key pads or card registers to
send data to a remote monitoring system. CX-6p-PoE devices can be linked together
over a standard Ethernet connection, making it possible to use a pre-existing LAN or the
Internet for device communication.
There are also 2 USB probe ports which support American Fibertek P-TAH and P-VHF
environmental probes. The P-TAH probe monitors temperature, airflow, and humidity.
The P-VFP probe monitors voltage, frequency, and ac voltage.
