The Molex HyperJack 1000 PoE+ ICM simplifies the customer's engineering work by providing plug-and-play PoE+ power without the need to invest in PoE+ feature development.
The design incorporates a PoE+ controller chip that manages Power over Ethernet at 30W, along with magnetic support for Gigabit PoE+, thermal management, and superior protection against ESD, EFT, and EMI. Furthermore, the HyperJack 1000 PoE+ ICM design complies with the upcoming PoETec V2.0 standard, which will define the industry standard footprint and communication protocols, facilitating its adoption across the industry.
Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology allows users to power and connect their network devices using a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power sources. The current 15W IEEE 802.3af standard is used to power Ethernet-connected devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
Following its ratification in 2009, the 30W IEEE 802.3at standard, also known as PoE+, will enable self-powered devices with higher energy requirements. These include WiMAX transmitters, PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, 802.11n wireless access points, video phones, laptops, thin clients, and point-of-sale terminals. PoE+ is also backward compatible with the existing 15W standard and allows simultaneous powering of devices powered by both 802.3af and 802.3at.
