Most Amazing Facts about POE keypads

POE technology has become very popular over the past few years. One reason for its popularity can be fact that it helps to integrate data and power across the network cables. This helps to provide flexibility as the integration can be done over the existing network cables and devices like IP phones, cameras etc. using a single network cable.

In addition, if the network is supplied with uninterrupted power supply then continuous operation can be delivered. The elimination of power interruption also helps to decrease the downtime. The POE keypads also give the ability to install endpoints in any location. This helps to provide flexibility and scalability to the networking infrastructure and helps to maximize the growth and efficiency. A number of options are available that can be availed to make these keypads fully optimum for the required environments.

Most of the keypads are POE enabled, today. They can share the available power across the switch ports. They have small power supply and are also capable of powering the switch. They can provide power over a number of ports. In fact, many devices that do not allow Power over Ethernet can also use these keypads. A Poe splitter can also be used if less than 50 watts is used by the device. It can also be used to connect the keypad to an IP Ethernet network. This helps to separate the power and the data on to two separate cables.

Today’s POE keypads are highly efficient and get easily integrated with the existing networks. They are also called as rugged keypads as they can be installed in all types of climatic conditions. These also allow separation of the power and the data using the wiring closet. This is very efficient and also costs less. These outdoor keypads can be used over all types of networks. That’s why these are also called as network keypads. These can be integrated with the old as well as the new technologies.

Most of the rugged keypads are vandal-resistant

Where reliability is concerned, we can’t use the sophisticated keypads that we daily use. They may serve our purposes but we can’t use them in all types of environments. For them, we need ruggedized keyboards. They are the safest bet for outdoor applications.

Most of the rugged keypads are vandal-resistant and suited for indoor and outdoor use in applications including banking kiosks, ticketing machines, access control systems and harsh public environments. Most of them come with very simple panel configurations and adaptable layouts to accommodate a broad range of client designs. Customers can specify any number of keys, as well as benchmark 4, 12 or 16 keypad layouts.

The characteristics may also include commanded illumination in red, yellow, blue, green, or white, multiple button forms and colors inside one keypad, and blank spaces for separation between keys in one unit. Other features may be anti-twist, anti-pull off, non sticking keys.

Rugged keypads have applications in several areas. Some of them are:

1.    Commercial applications
2.    Industrial applications
3.    Military applications

The commercial application may include:

1.    Oceanic vessel control
2.    Power plant control system
3.    Rugged mobile computers
4.    Water manufacturing equipments
5.    Telephonic operator terminals
6.    Retail lottery terminals
7.    High end VME systems

The industrial applications include:

1.    Advanced integrated display systems
2.    Tactical advanced computer system
3.    Tactical mobile rugged computer
4.    Advanced display system

The military applications include:

1.    Rugged military computers
2.    Coast guard tactical computers
3.    Airborne satellite control system
4.    Military aerospace management

Rugged keypad play the crucial role in all the major events of space as well. Man would not have been able to land at the moon without them.
