Press Release

New ECO-Surge(TM) Suppressors Combine Reliable Power Protection with Energy-Saving Green Design

Chicago, IL --Tripp Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection equipment, has introduced two new ECO-Surge(TM) Suppressors with energy-saving outlets designed to conserve energy by eliminating "phantom loads." ]]> The new 12- and 8-outlet Surge Suppressors feature a green outlet array with Master and Power Save outlets that cut power to idle peripherals when the primary device is turned off. For example, if a notebook computer is connected to the Master outlet, turning it off will also automatically cut power to peripheral devices connected to the Power Save outlets, such as monitors, printers, scanners or desk lamps. This feature eliminates wasteful "phantom loads" that continue to consume electricity even when a device appears to be turned off.

Key Features and Benefits:

Green outlet array saves up to $40 on an average annual electric bill

Green function can be turned off with manual switch

Always-on outlets provide continuous power

Selectable wattage switch allows devices as small as netbooks to be assigned as master device

Dataline surge protection options for computers and A/V components

Manufactured in accordance with strict RoHS environmental standards

"We're excited to be introducing these new, environmentally friendly surge suppressors to the market," said Karenann Brow, Tripp Lite Senior Product Manager. "With their innovative green outlet array, they save money, conserve electricity and reduce carbon footprints - without sacrificing the high level of power protection that home and business users demand for their valuable equipment."

Phihong's 21W Splitter for IEEE802.3af Powers Cameras and Heaters

2010-03-02T20:45:27Z

Press Release

Phihong develops splitter that delivers 10W PoE Out and 12V over a DC cable...

FREMONT, CA (February 22, 2010) -- Phihong, a trusted name in Power-over-Ethernet solutions, has developed a new 21W splitter that has outputs of 10W over PoE to a powered device such as an IP Camera, and 12W DC to an accessory device including heaters and illuminators. Designated the POE21-120H, this device takes power from a Phihong IEEE802.3at-compliant midspan for use with low power IP cameras and adjacent devices for use in security systems and access controls. ]]> "So far PoE has been very successful in deploying security equipment to locations without the need for additional power supplies, but hasn't addressed the question of powering multiple devices in a single location," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. "The POE21-120H splitter will now provide 10W to power a PoE Camera as well as a 12W heater from a single Ethernet cable."

The POE21-120H takes its power from a Phihong IEEE802.3at midspan such as the POE36U-1AT and the POE576U-AT series midspans. The splitter splits off power for the heater and passes the remaining power and data through to the camera; thus this splitter may only power IEEE802.3af devices requiring up to 10W of power.

This gigabit-compatible splitter features a non-vented case with a diagnostic LED to indicate connection and power. The unit also complies with SELV, LPS and has over-voltage, over-current, and short circuit protection.

Pricing for the POE21-120H starts at $57.18 in single unit quantities. For more detailed specifications including datasheets and purchase information please visit www.midspans.com.
