Head of IT at DTU Electrical Engineering, Nils Nielsen was interviewed for the November issue of Elektronyt 2011 about the active switch installation.
After visiting PowerLabDK Henrik Mütze from Fibernet concluded that the network model applied at PowerLabDK is highly relevant for other companies and organisations. Especially, for organisations that require an intelligent network infrastructure whilst working with high voltage power and galvanic isolation.
At PowerLabDK is installed 200 active Microsens switches. The active switch installations allow a higher level of flexibility, simplify physical setups, and provides inherently galvanic isolation between different droppoints.
Nils Nielsen says:
”Previously, we have been working with networks following the FTTD principle (fibre-to-the-desk) in the buildings that now constitute PowerLabDK. (…) We have many student workspots, where the constellation of PC, test equipment and experimental lab set ups vary from task to task. In many cases, the fiber-based network made it difficult – in some cases impossible - to achieve a useable result.
The new copper-based active Microsens switches with build in fiber converters allows flexibility and enhances the level of applicability in the physical working environment”.
