&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The FLEX family of switches provides long-reach Ethernet and PoE++ over multi-pair UTP cabling, extending network connectivity up to 2,000 feet (610m)—six times the distance of standard Ethernet switches. This allows organizations to modernize their network infrastructure without replacing existing cabling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the FLEX family of products, customers are taking full advantage of Modern LAN principles, protecting existing infrastructure assets, and eliminating any need to rip and replace the established UTP cabling. Accelerate ROI by cutting infrastructure costs and deployment time. Eliminate risks, disruptions, and expenses while simplifying IP modernization. Deploy a secure, plug-and-play IP platform that is efficient and environmentally responsible.&lt;br /&gt;

==Migration to IP==&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Seamless Upgrade from Analog to IP&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NVTPHY FLEXDiagram Topology.jpg|thumb|center]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Transitioning from legacy analog systems to IP infrastructure can be challenging. The FLEX switch family simplifies this process by repurposing existing multi-pair UTP cabling, enabling a cost-effective and non-disruptive migration to modern IP networks. This approach eliminates the need for expensive and disruptive re-cabling projects, significantly reducing deployment time and costs while ensuring a seamless transition to modern IP and IoT applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
NVT Phybridge has conducted extensive testing and confirmed that Innovaphone products work seamlessly with the FLEX family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Innovaphone does not require PTP (Precision Time Protocol), there are no synchronization issues, ensuring stable and reliable operation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By simplifying deployment, reducing infrastructure costs, and offering long-distance, high-power PoE, the FLEX family of switches is a proven solution for businesses looking to modernize their networks while maximizing ROI and network efficiency.&lt;br /&gt;

Network Switch – Long Reach Power over Ethernet (PoE)  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Functions==  &lt;br /&gt;
The PoLRE-24 and PoLRE-48 are Layer 2 managed switches, while the PoLRE-LPC is an unmanaged switch designed for simpler deployments. All models support an extended reach of up to 1,200 feet (365m) and provide IEEE 802.3af PoE over single-pair UTP cabling.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* **PoLRE-24 and PoLRE-48**: Layer 2 managed switches offering robust network control and security features.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **PoLRE-LPC**: Unmanaged, cost-effective, and plug-and-play for smaller deployments.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Infrastructure Optimization**: Utilizes existing cabling infrastructure, minimizing costs and deployment complexity.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Centralized Power Distribution**: Provides up to 20W PoE per port.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Advanced Network Features (PoLRE-24 and PoLRE-48 only)**: VLANs, MAC locking, 802.1x authentication, STP, RSTP, IGMP Snooping, SSH, TACACS+, and RADIUS.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Switch Management (PoLRE-24 and PoLRE-48 only)**: Managed via Web GUI, CLI, and SNMP.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **PowerWISE® Technology**: Ensures energy efficiency and redundancy.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Version==  &lt;br /&gt;
Current Firmware Version: 3.6.1 (Released: September 6, 2024)  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==  &lt;br /&gt;
The PoLRE family of switches streamlines the transition to IP and IoT networks by delivering Ethernet and PoE over existing single-pair UTP cabling, extending connectivity up to 1,200 feet (365m)—four times the distance of standard Ethernet switches. When paired with the PhyLink Adapter, this enterprise-grade switch provides a secure, cost-effective, and efficient alternative to traditional infrastructure upgrades.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Designed with Modern LAN principles in mind, PoLRE switches help businesses protect existing infrastructure assets, eliminating the need for costly and disruptive infrastructure overhauls. Seamlessly integrating into existing networks, they ensure a secure, scalable, and easy-to-manage solution for VoIP, IP cameras, access control systems, and other IP endpoints.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Competitive Analysis==  &lt;br /&gt;
The PoLRE switch family stands out from competitors due to its superior reach, power efficiency, and ease of deployment. Below are key differentiators:  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* **Extended Reach**: Provides 10 Mbps full-duplex Ethernet and PoE over single-pair UTP with no speed degradation at longer distances, enabling reliable connectivity for IP devices at distances of up to 1,200 feet (365m) without additional extenders or power sources.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Power over Ethernet (PoE)**: Supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE), delivering up to 20W of power per port over single-pair UTP cabling.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **PowerWISE® Technology**: Supports power sharing for redundancy, load balancing, AC/DC options, and enhanced energy efficiency.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Advanced Network Management**: Fully managed switches (PoLRE-24 and PoLRE-48) offer features like VLAN, IGMP, port MAC locking, SNMP, and 802.1x support for security and performance optimization.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Plug-and-Play Deployment**: PoLRE-LPC offers an unmanaged, plug-and-play solution for environments where simplicity is preferred.  &lt;br /&gt;
* **Cost-Effective Network Modernization**: Eliminates costly and disruptive infrastructure overhauls by leveraging existing cabling.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Migration to IP==  &lt;br /&gt;
===Seamless Upgrade from Analog to IP===  &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NVTPHY IPCommunication Topology.jpg|thumb|NVTPHY IPCommunication Topology]]&lt;br /&gt;
Transitioning from legacy analog systems to IP infrastructure can be challenging. The PoLRE switch family simplifies this process by repurposing existing single-pair UTP cabling, enabling a cost-effective and non-disruptive migration to modern IP networks. This eliminates the need for costly and disruptive re-cabling projects, significantly reducing deployment time and expenses while ensuring a smooth transition to modern IP and IoT applications.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
