Introduction

PCIe-PoE454at is an industrial-grade 4-port 5GBASE-T frame grabber card with 802.3at PoE+ capability for advanced machine vision applications. It leverages Marvell AQC111C 5GBASE-T Ethernet controller to offer dedicated 5 Gb/s Ethernet bandwidth for each port. Furthermore, it is backward compatible with 2.5G, 1G, 100M link speeds to support legacy Ethernet devices and can transmit data utilizing economical Cat 5e Ethernet cables up to 100 meters without bandwidth degradation.

5GBASE-T, or NBASE-T, is an emerging technology, especially for the machine vision market. Cameras with a 5GBASE-T Ethernet interface have up to 5 times the Ethernet bandwidth compared to Gigabit Ethernet, thus supporting higher resolution and frame rate. PCIe-PoE454at provides high port density to provide four 5GbE ports in a standard half-size PCIe card form factor. In addition, it comes with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ PSE function so you can simply power the NBASE-T camera using a single Ethernet cable.

For machine vision systems requiring multiple high-resolution 5GBASE-T cameras, PCIe-PoE454at is the ideal frame grabber that provides high port density, 24/7 reliable operation, and excellent throughput performance without frame loss.
