Iris Four Channel Uplink Power Over Ethernet Switch - IEEE802.3af & 3at Compliant - 9-30VDC Input - 48VDC Output

The Iris Four Channel Uplink Power Over Ethernet Switch represents a critical infrastructure component for modern tactical and military command posts, surveillance networks, and field operations requiring reliable IP device power distribution. Designed for teams operating in austere environments where conventional AC power is unavailable, this IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at compliant switch delivers simultaneous power and data connectivity across four channels—eliminating the need for separate power runs to cameras, access points, and tactical communication nodes. Whether deployed in forward operating bases, mobile command vehicles, or remote monitoring stations, this switch bridges the gap between diverse power sources (9–30VDC input) and standardized powered devices.

Built around proven Power over Ethernet architecture, the Iris switch accepts variable DC input from batteries, generators, or solar systems and regulates a stable 48VDC output across all four ports, meeting full IEEE compliance for both standard PoE (15.4W per port) and PoE+ (30W per port) devices. The compact 5 x 2 x 7 inch footprint and minimal 1.15 lb weight make it ideal for loadout-sensitive operations where every ounce matters. Its four-channel uplink design allows a single switch to power multiple networked sensors, thermal imaging systems, or wireless relay nodes simultaneously while maintaining data integrity—critical when bandwidth and power efficiency directly impact mission success.

Tactical personnel—including military signals units, law enforcement SWAT teams, and private security operations—benefit from this switch's flexibility and reliability in unpredictable field conditions. The wide 9–30VDC input range ensures compatibility with standard military batteries, vehicle auxiliary power, portable generators, and alternative energy sources without requiring voltage regulators or additional conversion equipment. Installation is straightforward: connect your DC source, attach powered devices via standard Ethernet, and deploy. For teams building out modular surveillance grids, mobile command centers, or distributed sensor networks, the Iris Four Channel Uplink Power Over Ethernet Switch delivers the power management backbone needed to maintain operational continuity in environments where infrastructure cannot be taken for granted.
