PD-6512/AC/M Overview

The PowerDsine 6500/6500G series sets a new standard for highly secure, remotely-managed and safe-to-use Power over Ethernet Midspans (PoE injectors).

PowerDsine 6500/6500G series comprises 6, 12 and 24- port models, making an even wider range of flexible Power over Ethernet installations possible.

PowerDsine 6500/6500G family allows IP telephones, wireless LAN access points, security network cameras and many other types of data terminals to receive power, along with data, over standard Ethernet cables, leaving network infrastructure completely unaltered. With PoE, data and power flow smoothly and safely over a single LAN cable with no interference.

A PoE Midspan (PoE injector) resides between the Ethernet switch and the data terminals, delivering data, along with power, from switch to powered devices. It is a highly effective means for injecting power into LAN cables.

With support for SNMP, 6500/6500G series Midspans offer the most advanced and highly secure network management options, enabling full control over all Midspan operation aspects.

PowerDsine 6500/6500G series Midspans, which fully comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE definition standard, provide a minimum of 15.4 Watts of power through each port and ensure safe operation of any standard PoE data terminal.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many PoE devices can the Microsemi PowerDsine 6512 support simultaneously? +

The PD-6512/AC/M is a high-density midspan designed to power up to 12 individual network devices. By providing centralized power delivery across all 12 ports, it effectively eliminates the need for localized power supplies at each endpoint, simplifying your cable management and infrastructure deployment in enterprise environments.

Is the Microsemi PD-6512 compatible with IEEE 802.3af standard devices? +

Yes, this midspan fully complies with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard. It is engineered to detect powered devices automatically and supply the correct voltage and current required, ensuring safe and reliable operation for IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points that adhere to these industry specifications.

Does the PD-6512/AC/M require specific network switches for operation? +

This unit is a standalone midspan, meaning it is designed to sit between your existing non-PoE network switch and your powered endpoints. It does not require a specialized PoE-enabled switch to function; simply pass your data cables through the injector to add robust power capabilities to your legacy network hardware.

What is the primary deployment scenario for the Microsemi 6512 PoE midspan? +

The 6512 is ideal for enterprise installations where you need to scale PoE capacity without replacing your entire core switching infrastructure. It is frequently deployed in office settings to power arrays of wireless access points or security cameras where centralized power management and distance flexibility are required for a clean, professional installation.

How does the PowerDsine 6512 handle power management for connected devices? +

Microsemi’s PowerDsine technology features intelligent power sensing. When a device is connected, the unit performs a multi-step signature detection process to ensure the device is PoE-compatible before applying power. This prevents damage to non-PoE equipment and allows for efficient power distribution across all 12 active ports during peak operation.

Can the Microsemi 6512 be rack-mounted in a standard server cabinet? +

Yes, the PD-6512/AC/M is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting. Its compact form factor allows it to be easily integrated into existing server racks or telecom closets, providing a high-density power solution that maintains organized cabling and contributes to a professional, manageable rack environment for IT administrators.

What are the physical port configurations on the PD-6512? +

The device features 12 input ports for data connectivity from your switch and 12 output ports that combine both data and power for your downstream devices. These are standard RJ-45 interfaces, allowing for seamless integration with Cat5e or Cat6 cabling common in professional network environments.

What kind of environmental conditions does this PoE midspan support? +

This midspan is built for standard data center and wiring closet environments. It is designed to operate within typical ambient temperature ranges found in climate-controlled IT rooms. To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the internal power circuitry, always ensure sufficient airflow around the unit when mounting it in a rack.
