OnTime Networks is bringing the advantages of Power over Ethernet (PoE) to defense applications

OnTime Networks just added Power over Ethernet (PoE) support to its fully rugged military-grade CM/CR-6228 28-Port Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch/Router/GNSS Time Server platform, supporting a maximum power delivery of up to 60W per port on each of the dedicated (4) 10/100/1000 BASE-T ports - providing a total PoE power budget of 240 watts to power 802.3af (12.95 W), 802.3at (25.5 W) and 802.3bt (51W) devices (Power available at PD). PoE devices enable Ethernet cables that carry Ethernet data as well as to also provide up to 60 watts of power to Powered Devices (PDs), such as IP cameras, Sensors, Voice over IP phones and wireless access points.

The CM/CR-6228 28-Port Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet Switch/Router/GNSS Time Server platform design makes it ideal for use in extremely harsh environments subject to vibrations, extreme temperature fluctuations and shocks found in vetronics, ground vehicles and aerial applications.

The CM/CR-6228 Series provides up to four (4) different capabilities in one SWaP-optimized Multi-Function COTS all-in-one platform:

- Switching

- Routing
