Designed for industrial/harsh environments, the EL2242 supports a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 75°C, high ESD/EMI protection and redundant terminal block power inputs. The EL2242 is housed within a ruggedised aluminum enclosure supporting DIN-rail mounting. The LED indicators display power, alarm, link, data rate, PoE and LFPT status.

The EL2242’s copper port is compliant to IEEE802.3at PoE/PSE standard, capable of the maximum power delivery of 30 watts via a single UTP cable. The power can be utilised for PoE powered devices such as an IEEE802.3ac wireless AP or a PoE surveillance camera.

The EL2242’s SFP fibre port supports 100Base-FX or 1000BASE-X dual rate connectivity, reserving the possible migration to a Gigabit network. In additional to LFPT, the EL2242 provides relay alarm support, reporting an Ethernet link failure immediately to the on-site personnel to save maintenance time. Users may use EL2242’s DIP switch for turning on/off LFPT and power alarm functions, as well as selecting 100Base-FX or 1000Base-X SFP transmission.
