Moxa EDS-P506A-4PoE-MM-ST [2/15] Overview

- 2 -

Overview

The Moxa EtherDevice™ EDS-P506A-4PoE Series Ethernet switches

are managed redundant Ethernet switches that come standard with 4

10/100BaseT(X) 802.3at/af (PoE/PoE+) compliant Ethernet ports, and 1

or 2 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet ports or 1 or 2 100BaseFX (SC/ST-type

connector) fiber ports. The EDS-P506A-4PoE Ethernet switches provide

up to 30 watts of power per PoE port, and allow power to be supplied to

connected devices (such as surveillance cameras, wireless access points,

and IP phones) when power is not readily available or cost-prohibitive to

provide locally. The EDS-P506A-4PoE Ethernet switches are highly

versatile, and their fiber ports can transmit data up to 40 km from the

device to the control center with high EMI immunity. The Ethernet

switches support a variety of management functions, including Turbo

Chain, IEEE 1588 PTP, Turbo Ring, RSTP/STP, IGMP, VLAN, QoS, RMON,

bandwidth management, and port mirroring. The EDS-P506A-4PoE series

is designed especially for security automation applications such as IP

surveillance and gate of entry systems, which can benefit from a scalable

backbone construction and Power-over-Ethernet support.

The EDS-P506A-4PoE can operate from 0 to 60°C or -40 to 75°C for T

models and are designed to withstand a high degree of vibration and

shock. The rugged hardware design makes the EDS-P506A-4PoE Series

perfect for ensuring that your Ethernet equipment can operate in critical

industrial environments, and complies with FCC and CE standards.
