Veracity VCS-8P2-MOB CAMSWITCH 8 Mobile 8+2 Port Low Voltage 802.3at Switch

Compact, versatile POE switches that provide POE Plus from 12 or 24 volts

CAMSWITCH Mobile off ers the ideal network solution for transport, battery, solar and low-voltage applications.

Low voltage POE Plus switches for 12/24V applications

CAMSWITCH Mobile is the ideal solution for installing IP cameras and other POE and network devices in transport, battery/solar powered, and other low-voltage applications. It integrates a 5 or 10 port 10/100 Ethernet switch with the capability to convert a 8 to 40 volt DC supply into an 80 watt IEEE 802.3af/at compliant power source.

CAMSWITCH 8 Mobile features 8 802.3at POE ports, 2 non-POE ports, and a versatile DC power input.

Compact and Powerful:

CAMSWITCH Mobile delivers up to 80 watts of IEEE802.3af / 802.3at compatible POE power to POE devices from a DC voltage as low as 8 volts, providing continuous operation during engine cranking or low battery scenarios. Ports may also be used for non-POE equipment such as mobile NVRs.

Installer Friendly:

CAMSWITCH Mobile's internal 10/100 Ethernet switch is entirely self-configuring to speed, duplex and cable type, and POE is automatically detected and enabled. No user configuration is required, and optional mounting brackets are included.

CAMSWITCH Mobile delivers a network connection and optional POE to 4 or 8 cameras. POE is converted to IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at levels from a 12V or 24V DC supply.

Connections:

All ports support 10/100 Base-T with auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.

1. 4 or 8 network ports with 802.3at POE
2. 1 or 2 data-only ports
3. 12V DC / 24V DC Power Input

Green: POE enabled (POE ports), Power good (non-POE ports)
Yellow: Ethernet Link /Activity

All ports support 10/100 Base-T Ethernet with auto-negotiation and auto-crossover.

POE is automatically detected and enabled to compliant devices.

POE is delivered on the Ethernet data pairs for compatability with 4-pin external connectors (e.g. M12). Cables should be secured appropriately to prevent vibration.

Wall Mounting Clips:

The enclosed mounting clips can be clipped where required along the side of the unit to permit surface mounting.

Up to M5 screws can be used at 122mm separation. See the drawing drill template overleaf.

Consult the power chart if ventilation is restricted.

Power Budget:

CAMSWITCH Mobile can deliver up to 80 watts of total camera power at its rated ambient temperature of 50°C.

To calculate the power budget required, add up the power draw in watts of all POE devices, as given in their datasheets. (Power classes are not used, and cable losses are already accounted for.) Note that the enclosure may become hot in operation. Restricted access to the product is recommended.

The graph opposite shows the approximate temperature rise with moderate ventilation. Note that restricted ventilation and space can lead to signifi cantly increased ambient temperature.

If the input voltage drops below 12V (for example during engine cranking) the power budget should be reduced as shown on the graph, down to 50 watts at the minimum 8.5V DC input.

Power Connections:

CAMSWITCH Mobile can operate from an 8.5V to 40V DC supply, and steps this up to a steady POE voltage internally. (For AC applications, contact Veracity).

The power supply or battery and wiring must be appropriately rated and fused for the current required. Recommended fuse ratings (slow blow type) are:

Note that the POE voltage is not isolated from the DC supply. CAMSWITCH Mobile is intended for use with IEEE-compliant (individually isolated) POE and Ethernet devices within a closed system.
