Antaira Technologies has released the LNP-0500G-M12-67-T, a five-port unmanaged Gigabit switch with Power over Ethernet capability. The device incorporates M12 X-coded connectors on four Gigabit PoE+ ports, each rated for 30 W, and one M12 A-coded port for DC power input. The switch meets EN 50155 and EN 50121 standards for rolling stock applications.
M12 connectors provide greater mechanical connection integrity in vibration- and shock-prone environments than RJ45 interfaces. The IP67-rated metal housing allows installation outside control cabinets in environments with exposure to moisture and dust. Operating temperature range spans -40°F to 167°F. The fanless design eliminates moving parts that can fail in vibration environments.
The switch delivers 120W total PoE budget across four ports supporting IEEE 802.3af/at devices, including IP cameras, wireless access points, and sensors. Power and data transmission through single Ethernet cables eliminates separate power wiring in space-constrained installations on trains, buses, and machinery. Device placement is not limited by power outlet locations since power is delivered through the network cable.
EN 50155 compliance covers requirements for electronic equipment on rolling stock, including operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, electrostatic discharge, and vibration specifications. The device also meets UL, CE, FCC, and IEC standards for electromagnetic compatibility and environmental conditions.
The LNP-0500G-M12-67-T is available through Antaira’s distribution channels.
