The 8000 High-Power midspan series eliminates the need for external power supply and its associated AC/DC power cabling, thus providing a highly cost effective, safe and reliable means for powering PTZ network cameras, multi-channel and outdoor wireless LAN access points, and other high power consumption Ethernet devices in enterprise installations.

The PowerDsine 8006 High Power over Ethernet midspan sits in tandem to an existing Ethernet or Fast Ethernet switch and connects to standard Category 5 and above infrastructure. This architecture protects customer's investments both in Category 5 and above infrastructure and in Ethernet switch equipment.

Products benefits include:

• Double the standard power per port supporting high power end-terminals
• Safe powering of standard and pre-standard devices, as well as high power terminals
• Continuous operation of powered devices during power outage
• Investment protection of existing Ethernet switches and cabling infrastructure
• Saves installation costs by eliminating the need for separate power cabling
• Easy plug-and-play installation
• Compact design for minimal rack space
