Comnet Launches Ultra-Resilient 720W Industrial PoE Switch
by Alex Trace
Danbury, Conn., Aug. 5, 2025— Comnet, a leading manufacturer of mission-critical industrial networking solutions, today announced the release of an ultra-resilient, high-power PoE switch. As the first in Comnet’s new line of IEEE802.3bt-compliant Ethernet switches, the CNGE10FX2TX8MSBT switch delivers a powerful combination of performance, flexibility, and durability — ideal for powering next-generation devices in extreme environments.
With 8 RJ45 ports delivering 90W simultaneously and a total PoE budget of 720W, plus 2 SFP ports supporting up to 2.5 Gbps, the new solution is engineered for high-capacity, high-performance applications like advanced IP cameras, edge sensors, digital signage, and intelligence-driven systems. The switch’s flexible power architecture allows users to install a smaller power supply today and scale up later — eliminating the need for costly hardware replacements as demands grow.
Built for resilience and bandwidth intensive applications, the switch maintains full power output across a -40°C to +70°C temperature range while ruggedized housing and redundant power inputs ensure maximum uptime. It is designed for mission-critical sectors, including transportation, security, energy, and manufacturing, and features Comnet’s Port Guardian technology, which automatically locks down ports in case of tampering to guard against unauthorized access.
“We are proud to introduce our latest product innovation, designed and built in the United States, for harsh environments with high bandwidth and high-power requirements,” said Sergio Resendiz, President, Comnet. “We built this new switch to deliver full 90W power on every port, even in harsh conditions. Whether you need that level of power today or are planning for tomorrow, the new switch provides the flexibility to scale without compromising reliability or security. It’s built to keep your network connected, no matter the circumstances.”
Designed, manufactured and supported in the United States, the switch meets BABA, NDAA, and TAA compliance standards and comes with a limited lifetime warranty — making it a reliable, future-ready solution for secure, industrial-grade connectivity.

Traffic Signal Controller: Networking That Keeps Up
Traffic Signal Controller Networking: Built to Last Every traffic signal controller depends on a network that can match its demands. When a cabinet-mounted controller sends timing adjustments to traffic lights across dozens of intersections, the data has to move cleanly, quickly, and without interruption. The networking hardware inside that cabinet and along the fiber backhaul is what makes or breaks the entire traffic signal control system.
