There’s a new long-reach ethernet solution on the market – Advantech’s IMC-150LPC PoE Ethernet extender. This innovative device uses extant coaxial cables to deliver power and data to a range of 300 metres. These capabilities are buttressed by an LFPT mechanism that augments transmission quality. This combination of attributes and features makes the IMC-150LPC an excellent choice for network infrastructure upgrade projects with limited power and network resources.
Extend the reach of both power and data delivery
The IMC-150LPC series surpasses the former 100-metre ethernet transmission range to deliver power and data via a single coaxial cable to locations up to 300 metres away at speeds of 100Mbps. This empowers P.D. devices, such as IP cameras, while saving cabling costs, reducing installation complexity and expanding power coverage and network services.
Leverage extant, legacy coaxial cables to upgrade network infrastructure
Upgrading network infrastructure usually necessitates costly rewiring and reconstruction. The IMC-150LPC supports both ethernet and coaxial transmission, enabling network communication via extant underground coaxial cables. These features help users avoid halts in manufacturing and surveillance when upgrading network infrastructure.
Supports Link Fault Pass Through (LFPT) mechanism
LFPT is a troubleshooting feature designed for media converters on both the local and remote IMC-150LPC extenders when they are used as a pair. When enabled, this feature will pass a link fault through the device at each segment. LFPT serves to prevent data loss by taking action during link failure incidents. For example, if the link fails on one IMC-150PLC, the other IMC-150LPC will force the link down on its link partner and avoid data loss.
Industrial grade hardware design with EN50121-4 EMC certification
The IMC-150LPC series is EN50121-4 EMC certified and designed with industrial-grade housing that supports broad temperature operation (-40 to 75 °C; -40 ~ 167 °F). This advanced durability makes IMC-150LPC suitable for applications in harsh environments such as trackside surveillance.
