The NC-MID single port Midspan unit automatically provides additional power to a network cable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as an IP camera, and used when power is difficult or costly to access. The device acts as a “patch panel” and adds ~48 VDC to unused (non-data) wires in a standard Category 5, 5e, 6 or 6a Ethernet cable. The NC-MID delivers both data and power over a single standard Ethernet cable to a PoE enabled End device designed to receive both Data and Power through its RJ45 connector.

The flexible NC-MID only provides power to recognised PoE signatures which makes it compatible with standard networking devices such as VoIP, wireless access points and IP cameras, and at the same time does not inject power to non-PoE enabled devices such as PCs or laptops.

With the supplied bracket, the NC-MID can be mounted above floor level for good house keeping.

Power over Ethernet and Midspan Explained

Reducing the cost of separate cabling, a PoE camera can receive power and data over a single existing Category 5 or higher cable. A midspan device is much like a modular patch panel which adds power to the network cable and works in combination with existing Ethernet Switches. When a PoE device is added to the network its signature is recognised by the midspan which in turn provides power to the device and data communication passes through. For standard devices the midspan simply relays data to the Ethernet switch.
