About the PD-Switch The PD-Switch is an unmanaged Ethernet powered device (IEEE 802.3af) that allows the port density and service area of Ethernet networks to increase. As a powered Layer 2 device, this switch receives power over the Ethernet cable instead of using a separate power outlet, providing Ethernet service to locations without being constrained by the availability of power outlets.
Installing the PD-Switch The PD-Switch is ready to use. Simply connect the appropriate data cables to ports 2 and up. Then connect the powered Ethernet cable to Port 1 (PD). Wallmount Installation The PD-Switch includes two X-shaped Wallmount holes in the enclosure. These holes accommodate the use of screws to flushmount the PD-Switch to a wall. Wall-Mounting Holes DIN Rail Mounting The PD-Switch can be mounted with two DIN Rail clips, a hardware option available through IMC Networks.
Port LEDs The ports on the PD-Switch include diagnostic LEDs that indicate unique information about the port functionality and status.
PD-Switch-TX/4+SFP On units with an SFP transceiver at Port 5, the FDX LED of port 4 has been redefined as the “FX-LNK/ACT” LED for the fiber port.
Applications In the following example, PD-Switches have been connected to a central (PoE) PSESwitch, extending the range of the network and increasing port density. One PD-Switch uses the standard four RJ-45 ports to connect to the network, while the other two use the fiber and SFP configurations to extend the network beyond the 200m range. NOTE This product must be connected to PoE networks and is not intended for connection to outside plant installations.

Fiber Optic Cleaning Guidelines Fiber Optic transmitters and receivers are extremely susceptible to contamination by particles of dirt or dust, which can obstruct the optic path and cause performance degradation. Good system performance requires clean optics and connector ferrules. 1. Use fiber patch cords (or connectors, if you terminate your own fiber) only from a reputable supplier; low-quality components can cause many hard-to-diagnose problems in an installation. 2.
