Copperline Range ComNet offers Copperline products in different permutations to simplify network integration. The af and at level PoE supporting products are available from single channel up to sixteen channels, with all units having equal numbers of in and out ports as point-to-point links only are configured. A miniature pass through or non PoE version is offered for remote locations where the smallest possible form factor is required. This could be direct mounted within the camera enclosure or edge device if required. For locations where more than one Ethernet connection is required in the field, Comnet Self Managed Switch (SMS) technology with integrated Copperline port offers simple solutions. The SMS switch provides four standard 10/100 ports with the options for PoE levels up to 30W and the fifth port being either a twisted pair or coaxial Copperline connection. The Copperline port can be configured for 10Mbps or 100Mbps operation depending on the cable type and distance required. The range also has a SFP module in twisted pair configuration that can be located in any MSA compliant SFP housing. This module gives great flexibility to network implementation as the design radius around any Ethernet switch is now greatly increased by the integrated CopperLine technology. Via a simple converter cable or adapter, the module presents a BNC connector and enables coaxial cable runs to terminate directly on the Ethernet switch. Another possible use for the SFP module could be in a 60W PoE media converter that ComNet can supply. If used with these devices a 60W IP camera can be installed with the Ethernet signal passing over legacy coaxial cabling or extended twisted pair runs. The transmitter unit at the camera can also support IEEE802.3at PoE and act as a PSE.
