2.1 Product Description
High Power PoE for Security and Public Service Applications
To fulfill the demand of High Power PoE for network applications with Gigabit speed transmission under
wide temperature, the MC352-4P-2S provide 4 10/100/1000Mbps ports featuring both IEEE 802.3af and
IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) that combine up to 30-watt power output and data per
port over one Cat.5E / 6 Ethernet cable.
With a total of up to 120 watts of PoE output capability, the MC352-4P-2S is designed specifically to
satisfy the growing demand of higher power consuming network PDs (powered devices) such as PTZ
(Pan, Tilt & Zoom) speed dome network cameras, multi-channel (802.11a / b / g / n) wireless LAN access
points and other PoE network devices by providing double PoE power, rather than the current
conventional 802.3af PoE.
Environmentally Hardened Design
The MC352-4P-2S is equipped with rugged IP30 metal case for easy deployment in heavy Industrial
demanding environments. With IP30 metal case protection, the MC352-4P-2S provide a high level of
immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on
plant floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. Being able to operate in the temperature range from
-40 to 75 Degree C, the MC352-4P-2S can be placed in almost any difficult environment. The
MC352-4P-2S allows either DIN rail or wall mounting for efficient use of cabinet space.
Adjustable 6-Port Switch Mode or 4 + 2 Fiber Redundant Mode
Via the built-in DIP switch, the MC352-4P-2S can be configured as 6-Port Ethernet switch or 4+2 fiber
redundant mode. With the 6-port switch mode, the MC352-4P-2S can operate in Store-and-Forward
mechanism with high performance; on the other hand, when in the 4+2 fiber redundant mode, it provides
rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode also supports
auto-recovering function, if the destination port of a packet is link down, it will forward the packet to the
other port of the backup pair.
