How to Use 10 Port POE+ DIN Switch SFP+ 1gbe: Examples, Pinouts, and Specs

The 10 Port POE+ DIN Switch SFP+ 1gbe by ienRon is a robust, industrial-grade Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch designed for DIN rail mounting. It features 10 ports, including support for PoE+ (802.3at) to power connected devices and SFP+ for high-speed 1 Gbps fiber or copper connections. This switch is ideal for industrial environments requiring reliable network connectivity and power delivery, such as factory automation, surveillance systems, and IoT deployments.

• Industrial Automation: Connect and power PLCs, sensors, and other industrial devices.
• Surveillance Systems: Power IP cameras and transmit video data over a high-speed network.
• IoT Deployments: Provide connectivity and power to IoT devices in smart factories or buildings.
• Edge Computing: Enable high-speed data transfer for edge devices in remote or harsh environments.

The following table outlines the key technical details of the 10 Port POE+ DIN Switch SFP+ 1gbe:

The switch does not have traditional pins but includes ports and connectors. Below is a description of the ports:

1. Mounting: Secure the switch to a DIN rail in your industrial environment.
2. Power Connection: Connect a 48-57V DC power supply to the terminal block. Ensure proper grounding.
3. Device Connection:
   • Use Ethernet cables to connect PoE-compatible devices (e.g., IP cameras, access points) to ports 1-8.
   • Insert SFP+ modules into ports 9-10 for high-speed uplink connections.
4. Configuration: If the switch supports management features, access the web interface or CLI for advanced settings.

• Power Budget: Ensure the total power consumption of connected PoE devices does not exceed the 240W budget.
• Cable Quality: Use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cables for PoE ports to ensure reliable power and data transmission.
• SFP+ Modules: Use compatible SFP+ modules for fiber or copper connections. Check the manufacturer's compatibility list.
• Environment: Operate the switch within the specified temperature range (-40°C to 75°C) for optimal performance.

While the switch itself does not directly interface with an Arduino UNO, it can be used to power and connect network-enabled Arduino projects. For example, if using an Ethernet shield with the Arduino, connect the shield to one of the PoE+ ports for both power and data.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// MAC address and IP address for the Arduino Ethernet Shield
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 177);

void setup() {
  // Initialize Ethernet connection
  if (Ethernet.begin(mac) == 0) {
    // If DHCP fails, use a static IP address
    Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  }
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // Wait for serial port to connect
  }
  Serial.println("Ethernet connected");
}

void loop() {
  // Example: Send a message over the network
  Serial.println("Running network tasks...");
  delay(1000);
}

1. No Power to Devices:

   • Cause: Insufficient power supply or exceeded PoE power budget.
   • Solution: Verify the power supply voltage (48-57V DC) and ensure the total power consumption of connected devices is within the 240W budget.

2. No Network Connectivity:

   • Cause: Faulty cables or incorrect configuration.
   • Solution: Check Ethernet cables for damage and ensure proper connections. If the switch is managed, verify the configuration settings.

3. Overheating:

   • Cause: Operating in an environment outside the specified temperature range.
   • Solution: Ensure the switch is installed in a well-ventilated area within the -40°C to 75°C range.

4. SFP+ Module Not Detected:

   • Cause: Incompatible or improperly seated module.
   • Solution: Use a compatible SFP+ module and ensure it is securely inserted.

• LED Indicators: Use the LED indicators on the switch to diagnose issues (e.g., power, link, and activity status).
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for firmware updates to improve performance and fix bugs.
• Support: Contact ienRon technical support for assistance with advanced troubleshooting.
