E-link Launches LNK-IMC306P PoE+ and LNK-IMC306 Industrial Ethernet Switches for Harsh Networks

E-link Launches LNK-IMC306P PoE+ and LNK-IMC306 Industrial Ethernet Switches

E-link, a trusted manufacturer of industrial networking equipment, is pleased to announce the availability of two hardened Ethernet switches built for mission-critical deployments: the LNK-IMC306P Series Industrial PoE+ Switch and the LNK-IMC306 Series Industrial Ethernet Switch. Both models pack six 10/100Base-TX copper ports plus three 100Base-FX fiber uplinks into a compact aluminum housing, making them ideal for factory floors, transportation systems, security networks, and outdoor cabinets.

LNK-IMC306P Series — Power and Data Over a Single Cable

The LNK-IMC306P Series is a 6-port 10/100Base-TX plus 3-port 100Base-FX hardened PoE switch. It supports IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ with up to 30W per port, allowing Powered Devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and sensors to receive both power and data over standard RJ-45 cabling. By eliminating separate power runs, installers reduce cabling cost and shorten deployment time in hard-to-reach locations.

• 6 x 10/100Base-TX + 3 x 100Base-FX
• Full/half-duplex, auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X on all RJ45 ports
• IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ with 30W maximum per port
• 48~57VDC redundant power input via 6-pin terminal block
• -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F) operating temperature

LNK-IMC306 Series — Reliable Non-PoE Connectivity

The LNK-IMC306 Series delivers the same rugged six-copper/three-fiber configuration without PoE, drawing just 5W and accepting a wide 12~48VDC input range. It is the efficient choice for data-only aggregation, where powered devices are supplied locally or PoE is not required.

• 6 x 10/100Base-TX + 3 x 100Base-FX
• SFP, SC, FC and ST optical interfaces available
• 12~48VDC redundant power input
• IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
• IEEE 802.3x flow control

Shared Industrial-Grade Design

Both switches share a common foundation engineered for harsh conditions. A fanless aluminum case dissipates heat and resists vibration, shock, and electromagnetic interference. Redundant power inputs guard against single-source failure, while store-and-forward switching, a 1024-entry MAC address table, and a 512K-bit packet buffer keep traffic flowing smoothly. The switches operate from -40°C to 80°C and store at -40°C to 85°C, with 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity and an MTBF exceeding 200,000 hours.

Compliance and Applications

Both series are manufactured under ISO 9001 and meet EN55022 Class A, EN55024, and a full suite of IEC 61000-4 immunity standards including ESD, radiated susceptibility, EFT, surge, conducted susceptibility, and power frequency magnetic field. Available models cover multimode dual-fiber SC at 2KM, single-mode dual-fiber SC at 20KM, single-mode single-fiber SC at 20KM, and single-mode single-fiber FC at 20KM, plus SFP variants for flexible optical selection.

Typical deployments include industrial automation, intelligent transportation, video surveillance, power utilities, and outdoor wireless backhaul — anywhere a dependable, wide-temperature switch is essential.
