CEM Systems, part of Tyco Fire & Security is displaying the CEM DIU 220 (Power over Ethernet Door Interface Unit) with the latest software version of the CEM AC2000 SE (Standard Edition) access control system.
CEM technical Director Dr George Redpath is taking a seminar titled ‘Ethernet devices – are we there yet?’ on Thursday May 24, at the IFSEC IP and Networked Solutions seminar theatre. Philip Verner, Marketing Manager at CEM, said: "This year CEM will demonstrate the complete IP based solution including IP controllers and IP card readers, as well as the unveiling of the new CEM Power over Ethernet door controller. This release will mark what we believe to be the first PoE (Power over Ethernet) door controller to the market.” <br><br>As IP solutions have moved from niche to mainstream, CEM says, it has taken advantage of PoE Plus technology to offer the option to reliably power an access control reader and all door furniture via Ethernet. With the release of the DIU 220, a complete door set (consisting of a controller, In and Out reader, 500mA Maglock, door holder, sounder and strobe) can now be reliably powered, it is claimed, using one CAT5/6 Ethernet cable, without the need to provide local mains power and AC/DC power supplies at the door.
