Loop-IP6820

Self-Healing Ring NTU

5 Years
Description Warranty

The Loop-IP6820 is a gigabit Ethernet

self-healing ring network termination unit
(NTU). The layer 2 switch supports the very
efficient ERPS G.8032 Ethernet Ring
Protection. For ring topologies the IP6820
supports auto-discovery to discover up to 128
units on the ring as well as remote configuration
for easy installation.

All end devices can be in packet format via

Ethernet ports or serial data via RS232/422/485
interfaces, which are converted into packets
within the IP6820. The device has two WAN
optical interfaces, two LAN optical interfaces,
four electrical LAN interfaces, and one alarm
relay interface. Manufacturing options include
four additional electrical LAN interfaces, four or
eight RS232/422/485 interfaces, and two sets
of Dry Contact in/out interfaces

With an embedded GbE L2 switch chip, the IP6820 also supports RSTP and MSTP for all Ethernet ports. It
can be powered by a single or dual DC power supply, depending on field requirements. PoE (Power over
Ethernet) and PoE+ are available as manufacturing options. Physical DIN rail mounting is also supported.

The IP6820 can be used in automation, SCADA, surveillance, traffic control, transportation, and IP
networking. Network topologies include ring protection, point-to-point, and point-to-multipoint. Easy
installation and configuration simplifies the IP6820’s maintenance and expansion.

PoE Pin Assignments Explanation
Pin Assignment A – “Phantom Power Supply” Power is modulated over the data lines (pairs 1&2, 3&6)
Pin Assignment B – “Redundant Power Lines” Power is sent directly over empty wires (pairs 4&5, 7&8)
For Ethernet that is 1000 Base-T, all pairs are used and power is modulated over all data lines (as in pin assignment A).

Powered devices using PoE that conform to the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af are required to support both A and B. So both
options A and B will work. However if you are using PoE powered devices that do not conform to the standard, then
please make sure that you choose the correct pin assignments to go with your powered devices. The maximum output
power consumption is 15.4 watts per Ethernet LAN port.
