Microchip Releases the First IEEE® 802.3bt Power over Ethernet to USB Type-C® Power and Data Adapter
Enables extended installation reach of USB Type-C devices while supporting a variety of input PoE standards up to 90W and output power up to 60W
March 3, 2021, New Delhi — There are many consumer, enterprise and industrial devices today that have a USB Type-C port as the only input power option. While USB-C® technology can offer high power and high data rate, it limits the range of the installation to a maximum of three meters from an AC outlet. As Power over Ethernet (PoE) becomes more prevalent and a more convenient solution to provide power over a standard Ethernet cable, it is the most practical solution to provide both power and data up to 100 meters. While most adapters on the market provide only power, they provide only limited power up to 25W. Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announced a PoE to USB-C adapter with the highest power capability that converts both power and data while offering up to 60W USB output power via an Ethernet cable supported by PoE infrastructure
