Help Finding Replacement for Digi ConnectPort TS16 with PoE Support

Automation and Control
1

Dear, To all the experts reading this article,

I’m looking for a unit with the following characteristics:

  • Serial Ports: 6 RS-232/RS-485 ports (for console management)
  • Network Ports: 2 × 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports (for remote management)
  • Power: IEEE 802.3af (PoE) support (power + data over Ethernet)
  • Warranty: 1-year minimum

I’ve seen the product change notice indicating that the ConnectPort TS series is being replaced by the Connect EZ series. However, it seems the EZ models do not support PoE for devices with 8 ports or more.

Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement that meets the above requirements, particularly one that still supports PoE?

Thanks in advance for your support!
