Case Use Example
A transportation operator installs the OS6360-PH24-UK in a control cabinet to power IP surveillance cameras and wireless devices along a heated shelter and trackside installation. With its hardened design, the switch tolerates extreme temperature shifts and physical disturbances.
The PoE+ power budget simplifies the deployment of cameras and routers without separate power lines, and SFP uplinks allow fast fibre backhaul to the central switch. Remote monitoring via OmniVista helps IT teams proactively manage switch performance across distributed smart transport assets.
