The EX23-R Power over Ethernet (PoE) Switch a standardized way with which to pass electrical power along with data on Ethernet cabling. This allows a single cable to provide both data connection and electrical power to devices.
Use the EX23-R PoE Switch to network SomatXR modules with other devices such as cameras. Use the power over Ethernet ports to provide power to compatible network devices.
NOTE
Connect only the red and black wires of the 1‑KAB2115 cable.
Do NOT use a 1-KAB2110 cable to power the EX23-R from the CX23-R.
CAUTION
Drawing PoE power lowers the maximum operating temperature. Please refer to the data sheet for the exact de-rating specifications.
Distributed network using EX23-R Ethernet switches
NOTE
When designing the power system, note that increased cable lengths can produce significant voltage drops at the module connectors, especially when using PoE or powering multiple modules from one source.
NOTE
MX modules may also be powered in serial using FireWire connections. Refer to the SomatXR User manual for details.
NOTE
For optimal data throughput performance, do not use both CX23-R Ethernet ports when using EX23-R modules.
To use multiple EX23-R modules, connect any Ethernet port on the new EX23-R module to any open EX23-R Ethernet port.
