16 PoE/PoE Plus ports per switch
Belden has extended its Hirschmann™ product series to include a new PoE/PoE Plus module for Workgroup switches in the MACH100 range. This module, which possesses eight Fast Ethernet ports (10/100 BASE-TX), provides each attached terminal with either 15.4 W (PoE) or 30 W (PoE Plus). The power supply 48 V DC (for PoE) or 52 V DC (for PoE Plus) comes from an external power supply unit. For each MACH100 switch two modules can be used with a total of 16 ports. With PoE Plus, each module can use four ports. It is also possible to operate PoE and PoE Plus ports simultaneously up to a total power of 120 W. This means that the new module offers considerable flexibility. PoE Plus can also be used to power relatively high-rated terminal equipment such as IP cameras with pan-tilt-zoom, Voice over IP videophones or multiband WLAN access points.

DSM ENGINEERING PLASTICS LAUNCHES 5 NEW GRADES OF ITS BIO-BASED ECOPAXX RESIN
Last year DSM Engineering Plastics introduced EcoPaXX™, a bio-based, high performance engineering plastic. EcoPaXX is a polyamide (PA) 410, and belongs to the family of the “long-chain polyamides”. It pairs typical long-chain polyamide properties, such as low moisture absorption and excellent chemical resistance, with high melting point (highest of all bio-based polyamides: ca. 250oC, see graph: melting point of bio-based polyamides as function of amide bond density) and high crystallization rate (typical for engineering plastics such as Akulon PA66 and Stanyl PA 46). It combines the best of both worlds and is therefore suitable for many high-tech applications.
