Introducing Comnet’s New 720W Industrial BT PoE Switch: Built for What’s Next
by Alex Trace
Introduction
Today’s networks face more demands than ever. From powering high-performance edge devices to delivering fast, uninterrupted data, reliability isn’t optional - it’s essential. That’s why Comnet is proud to introduce the first in our BT PoE switch family: the CNGE10FX2TX8MSBT, a next-generation, industrial-grade Ethernet switch engineered for the future.
Power for Today. Ready for Tomorrow.
As IoT devices grow more powerful, they also draw more power. Smart cameras, sensors, signage, and automation tools now require up to 90W of PoE—and your network needs to keep up. The CNGE10FX2TX8MSBT is purpose-built for these evolving needs. All eight RJ45 ports can deliver full 90W simultaneously, with a total PoE budget of 720W, even across extreme temperature ranges.
Whether you’re running a smart intersection, managing a substation, or deploying high-resolution surveillance, this switch is ready.
Industrial Strength, Inside and Out
- 2 SFP Ports up to 2.5G for fast uplinks and scalability
- 8 RJ45 Ports up to 1G, each fully IEEE802.3bt Type 4 (90W) compliant
- Industrial hardened: Operates from -40°C to +70°C
- Port Guardian: Physically locks down ports if cables are disconnected—adding an extra layer of cybersecurity
- Redundant power supply inputs for mission-critical uptime
- Wall mount or DIN-rail mountable for flexible deployment
Need 720W today? We’ve got you covered. Don’t need it yet? Start with a smaller power supply—scale later without replacing the switch.
Engineered for Mission-Critical Industries
This switch is more than a piece of hardware. It’s the backbone of networks that can’t afford downtime. That’s why it’s built, tested, and supported in the USA, fully BABA, NDAA and TAA compliant, and backed by our limited lifetime warranty.
It’s ideal for:
- Security & Surveillance – Power ALPR, PTZ cameras, and access control with ease
- Intelligent Transportation – Deliver real-time data across DMS, traffic signals, and incident systems
- Power Utilities – Built to meet tough standards in substations and switchyards
- Manufacturing – Connect high-demand machines and automation systems on the factory floor
Why Comnet?
Comnet’s networking solutions are trusted across industries where uptime, performance, and security are non-negotiable. With rugged design, future-ready power, and flexible scaling, the CNGE10FX2TX8MSBT stands apart in a crowded market.
It’s not just a switch—it’s your long-term infrastructure solution.

Industrial Ethernet Switches for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS): Buyer's Guide
Intelligent Transportation Systems rely on communication networks that must perform without interruption. IP cameras at intersections, variable message signs along highways, traffic signal controllers, tunnel sensors — the data transmission linking this equipment has direct safety consequences. Choosing the right industrial Ethernet switch is one of the most critical network decisions an ITS engineer makes. The advantages of purpose-built, industrial-grade hardware over commercial alternatives are clear: greater reliability, secure communication, and availability when it matters most. This buyer's guide covers what makes an industrial Ethernet switch suitable for ITS, how managed and unmanaged models compare, the key features to evaluate, and which Comnet switches are purpose-built for transportation deployments.
OT/IT Convergence in Power Utilities: What It Means for Your Network Infrastructure
Power grids are no longer the centralized, one-directional systems they were built to be. The rapid expansion of distributed energy resources, advanced metering infrastructure, and continuous remote monitoring requirements has made the traditional separation between field control systems and enterprise platforms unsustainable. For network engineers and system designers in the energy sector, IT/OT convergence is the defining infrastructure challenge of this decade — and how you architect the underlying network will determine whether your utility capitalizes on it or is constrained by it.
