The LinkPower™ LPS840-T1 Series is All Weather 6-Port Gigabit PoE (Power over Ethernet) Switch with 2 RJ45 Gigabit Uplink Ports is the industry first outdoor weatherproof high speed gigabit Ethernet switch that delivers data and power over one single network cable protected with an IP66/68 compliant weatherproof enclosure. The outdoor weatherproof rating of the systems, i.e., IP66 or 68, is strictly based on how the top cover is closed. For the hinged cover without the four top cover screws, the outdoor weatherproof rating is IP66 and, otherwise, the outdoor rating is IP68 with the four top cover screws securely closed with the enclosure. The LPS800-T1 Series all weather gigabit PoE switch featured is designed for industrial and commercial applications, e.g., video surveillance, remote security, commercial wifi installations.

Inscape Data offers two different lines of LPS840, i.e., T1 & T2. The design of the T1 and T2 models are based on the different requirements of today's broad outdoor network applications, such as installation security, ease of installation, and product cost. The T1 models offer up to IP67 waterproof rating and meet higher installation security by hiding the network cable and power connectors securely inside of a weatherproof enclosure and reduce the product cost by using fewer connectors, while the T2 models offer IP68 waterproof rating and ease of installation, i.e., plug and play connectors for applications demanding rapid change of network configuration.

The LinkPower LPS840-T1/LPS840-T2 models are differentiated mainly by the type of the waterproof connectors used in the weatherproof housing, as illustrated below:

The LinkPower LPS840-T1 Series offers several sub-models as shown below:

The PoE technology significantly reduces the installation cost by eliminating the separate power supply units for PoE enable network devices, thereby reducing equipment and installation costs.
