Microchip’s PD-9001GCO, PD-9501GCO, and PD-9601GCO is a single-port IEEE® 802.3bt Gigabit PoE outdoor
midspan that offers a cost-effective, IEEE® 802.3at/bt compliant solution that guarantees 30W/60W/90W of power,
and ensures safe and reliable operation in outdoor environments for standard PoE data terminal. These midspans
support 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates and are powered through a wide range of AC inputs (100 VAC to 240 VAC).
These midspans are IP67-rated and have an extended temperature range to be installed outdoors. In a typical
installation, the midspans provide power to outdoor devices such as WLAN AP, WLAN Mesh, or an IP Camera.
These units offers surge protection for both the AC and the PoE ports ensuring that the indoor equipment is protected
from outdoor surges.
PoE midspan powers devices that are PoE enabled or equipped to receive PoE. These devices are called Powered
Devices (PDs).
