Introduction
Functions and Features
The BL-69524ENT, Enterasys Networks’ 24-port Mid-Span Power Hub, supports
applications in which AC power is difficult to access, such as VoIP phones, wireless LAN
access points, or IP network cameras.
The Enterasys 24-port Mid-Span Power Hub acts as a “patch panel” and adds ~48 VDC to
unused (non-data) wires in standard Category 5, 5e, or 6 Ethernet cable. The power unit
delivers both data and power over a single standard Ethernet cable.
Main features of the 24-port Mid-Span Power Hub:
• Fully hot-swappable module banks
• Remote power feeding; powered devices receive power over the Ethernet cable
• Centralized power distribution; one powered device can be connected to a single
in-line unit
• IEEE 802.3af standard powering scheme
• Acts as a normal patch panel and places ~48 VDC on unused Ethernet pins
• Total power available: 15.6 W per port per IEEE specification
• Automatic power-control circuitry to detect a powered device before providing
power
• Fused power surge protection
Port Indicators
Each port has its own LEDs, which display the following:
• Detect/Power Forwarding (blue)
• Power from Chassis (green)
