16-Port Gigabit 802.3bt PoE++ Managed Injector Hub (600 watts)

PLANET’s newly-improved UPOE-1600G, a high-density, rack-mountable managed and quick PoE++ solution, is designed to perfectly upgrade an existing network infrastructure to IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet Plus Plus network system without replacing the existing Ethernet Switch. The UPOE-1600G’ management functions have been enhanced to include  TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols to improve cybersecurity, PLANET NMS system, NMSViewerPro, PLANET CloudViewerPro app, PLANET DDNS/Easy DDNS service, and more.

A Perfect Managed PoE++ Injector Hub with Full Power Budget

The UPOE-1600G, a high-density, rack-mountable managed IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ injector hub, features PLANET intelligent PoE functions through web user interface for remote management. It provides 16 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports featuring 802.3bt type-4 PoE++ injector with a total PoE budget of 600 watts. Each PoE port can deliver up to 95-watt power over Cat.5/5e/6 Ethernet UTP cables which allow data and power to transmit simultaneously to a remote 802.3bt/at powered device (PD). 

The UPOE-1600G enables centralization of the power supply and optimizes the installation and power management of remote network devices, and provides a quick, safe and effective Power over Ethernet network solution for small businesses and enterprises.

802.3bt PoE++ 95-watt Power over 4-pair UTP Solution

As the UPOE-1600G adopts the IEEE 802.bt PoE++ standard technology, it is capable to source up to 95 watts of power by using all the four pairs of standard Cat5e/6 Ethernet cabling to deliver power and full-speed data to each remote PoE compliant powered device (PD). Its power capability is three times more than that of the conventional 802.3at PoE+ and it is an ideal solution for those high power consuming network PDs, such as:

• PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
• Network devices 
• Thin clients
• AIO (all-in-one) touch PCs, point of sale (POS) and information kiosks
• Remote digital signage displays
• PoE lightings

802.3bt PoE++ and Advanced PoE Power Output Mode Management

To meet the demand of various powered devices consuming stable PoE power, the UPOE-1600G supports multi-PoE operation modes that include 95-watt 802.3bt type-4 PoE++ mode, and  4-pair legacy and force modes to solve the incompatibility of non-standard 4-pair PoE PDs in the field.

• 95W 802.3bt PoE++ Power Output Mode
• 36W End-span 802.3at PoE+ Power Output Mode
• 36W Mid-span 802.3at PoE+ Power Output Mode

Quick and Easy 802.3bt/at PoE Network Deployment

The UPOE-1600G is installed between a regular Ethernet Switch and the PDs. There are totally 32 STP ports on the front panel of the UPOE-1600G, of which the 16 ports are on the lower stack functioned as "Data input" while the other 16 ports are on the upper stack functioned as "PoE (Data and Power) output". Both power and data are transferred simultaneously over the UTP cables to PDs without affecting the existing network performance and functions.

With data and Power over Ethernet from one unit, the UPOE-1600G can reduce power cable deployment and eliminate the need for dedicated electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place.

Built-in Unique PoE Functions for Powered Device Management

As it is the Managed PoE++ Injector Hub for surveillance, wireless and VoIP networks, the UPOE-1600G features the following special PoE management functions:

• PoE schedule
• PD alive check
• Scheduled power recycling
• PoE usage monitoring

Intelligent Powered Device Alive Check

The UPOE-1600G can be configured to monitor connected PD status in real time via ping action. Once the PD stops working and responding, the UPOE-1600G will resume the PoE port power and bring the PD back to work. It will greatly enhance the network reliability through the PoE port resetting the PD’s power source and reducing administrator management burden.

PoE Schedule for Energy Savings

Under the trend of energy savings worldwide and contributing to environmental protection on the Earth, the UPOE-1600G can effectively control the power supply besides its capability of giving high watts power. The built-in “PoE schedule” function helps you to enable or disable PoE power feeding for each PoE port during specified time intervals and it is a powerful function to help SMBs or enterprises save power and money.

Scheduled Power Rebooting

The UPOE-1600G can be scheduled to reboot at a specified time like every minute, every hour, every day to reduce the chance of PD device crash resulting from buffer overflow.

Intelligent LED Indicator for Real-time PoE Usage

The UPOE-1600G helps users to monitor the current status of PoE power usage easily and efficiently by its advanced LED indication. Called “PoE Power Usage”, the front panel of the UPOE-1600G has four green LEDs indicating 150W, 300W, 450W and 600W of PoE power usage.

PoE Usage Monitoring

Via the power usage chart in the web management interface, the UPOE-1600G enables the administrator to monitor the status of the power usage of the connected PDs in real time. Thus, it greatly enhances the management efficiency of the facilities.

High Power Budget for PoE Extension

With up to 95-watt PoE output capability, the UPOE-1600G can extend much longer distance by using PLANET PoE Extender for powering up the PoE PD which can be installed over more than 100 meters away. By daisy-chaining multiple PLANET 802.3bt PoE++ Extenders, it offers the great flexibility of doubling, tripling or quadrupling the distance of PoE network.

Smart Fan Design for Silent Operation

The UPOE-1600G features a low noise design and an effective ventilation system. It supports the smart fan technology that automatically controls the speed of the built-in fan to reduce noise and maintain the temperature of the PoE injector hub for optimal power output capability, with low speed and high speed smart fan status display on web interface. The UPOE-1600G is able to operate reliably, stably and quietly in any environment without affecting its performance.

Cybersecurity Network Solution to Minimize Security Risks

The cybersecurity feature included to protect the UPOE-1600G management in a mission-critical network virtually needs no effort and cost to install. Both TLSv1.2 and TLSv1.3 protocols are utilized to provide strong protection against advanced threats. The network administrator can now construct highly-secure corporate networks with considerably less time and effort than before.

User-friendly Web Management Interface

To efficiently manage the PDs, the UPOE-1600G provides simple Web management interface in which administrators can control the system and PoE functions for PDs. It can automatically detect the power status of each port and show messages on its Web management interface. These features also provide users with a cost-effective way to manage the device via Internet whenever they are at work or at home.

Remote Management Solution

PLANET's Universal Network Management System (UNI-NMS) and CloudViewerPro app support IT staff by remotely managing all network devices and monitoring PDs' operational statuses. Thus, they're designed for both the enterprises and industries where deployments of PDs can be as remote as possible, without having to go to the actual location once a bug or faulty condition is found. With the UNI-NMS or CloudViewerPro app, all kinds of businesses can now be speedily and efficiently managed from one platform.
