AMG Systems, the pioneer in NDAA and TAA-approved, highly robust connectivity and transmission solutions for IP Video, has launched its latest UK-designed and built Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector range, named the AMG150 and AMG155 series.
The AMG150/155 series of PoE injectors has been designed to deliver Power over Ethernet from 15 right up to 90 watts, transmitting power to edge devices via 1Gb, 2.5Gb, 5Gb, right up to 10Gb Ethernet network connections. In this way, the AMG150/155 series supports even the most energy-intensive, professional-grade network cameras on the market.
AMG150/155 series’ IP40-rated housing
The new series of PoE injectors comes fitted with lightning surge protection of up to 20 kA current surges
The AMG150/155 series has been built to withstand the very toughest of operating conditions - working reliably at extreme temperatures ranging from −40°C up to +75°C. This is only possible because the AMG150/155 series’ IP40-rated housing is built using dual 5.2mm anodised machined aluminium heatsink side panels, with additional 2mm fins for improved heat dissipation.
AMG150/155 series also has a unique IEC bracket design to ensure that the AC mains supply does not shake loose in high-vibration conditions. The new series of PoE injectors comes fitted with lightning surge protection of up to 20 kA current surges. These features together make the products ideal for providing robust, yet cost-effective power to defence, utilities, transport and critical national infrastructure surveillance installations.
AMG155 models
The products offer a Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of 300,000 hours and a full Lifetime Warranty. Competitor products typically offer MTBF of 50,000 hours or less and a maximum of five years warranty.
AMG Systems continues to listen to installers and has ensured that AMG150/155 can be fitted with either an easy DIN rail clip system or a magnetic option for mounting. The AMG155 models also position all the connections and status LEDs in front of the user for easy installation and maintenance.
IEEE 802.3bt compliant high power PoE
Steve Clarke, Managing Director of AMG Systems, said, "We designed the AMG150/155 Series to provide a competitive, cost-effective, designed in the USA/UK, manufactured in the UK (NDAA & TAA compliant) alternative to the mostly Asia-made, re-badged products currently available."
He adds, "Incorporating a more installer-friendly form factor and fully integrated surge protection along with support for true IEEE 802.3bt compliant high power PoE, while being able to meet industry cost targets will make these products extremely attractive for many PoE-powered applications."
Asia-sourced PoE injectors
Tom Exley, Technical Director of AMG Systems, said: "The AMG150/155 series sets the quality standard. Our engineering team looked at what was currently available, identified weaknesses and engineered our product line to overcome those weaknesses."
He adds, "Many competitors offer Asia-sourced PoE injectors. None are equal in terms of being industrially hardened and made in a ISO9001-certified facility and still being cost-effective. We believe in the quality and stand behind them with lifetime support. This injector opens dozens of applications that can now utilise PoE as the power source, and having a product made in the UK gives your network an added layer of security."
