Industrial Facility Overcoming Distance and Cost Challenges The Project
An electrical contractor was tasked with the installation of new cameras, distributed uninterruptible power supplies ( UPS's), PoE switches, and media converters across several buildings. Under normal circumstances, a project like this would not challenge the capabilities of the contractor. However, in this case the power source nearest these new devices was over 1000 feet away. The cost and complexity of installing new panels, conduit pathways, and managing power shutdowns made this deployment significantly more demanding.
Federal Facility
The Challege Large hangar and industrial facilities face significant challenges when deploying PoE devices due to fundamental power and distance limitations. Traditional PoE is constrained to 100 meters and 90W per device, creating substantial infrastructure challenges for facilities that often exceed 500,000 square feet. These limitations force organizations to install numerous intermediate electrical power sources, intermediate distribution frames (IDFs), and network closets throughout the facility to maintain power and connectivity to PoE devices like security cameras, wireless access points, and sensors. The Solution By using Fault Managed Power (FMP) to distribute power across each 85,000 square foot building, the contractor was able to complete this project with minimal shutdowns. Even more impressively, the project timeline was reduced from two weeks to two days
The Outcomes
