Since COVID-19 hit, we've been getting more requests about how to disinfect touchscreen surfaces. It is important to realize touchscreens are sensitive to chemicals and having liquid applied to them. First some warnings: Touchscreen display modules are not sealed and can be damaged if liquids are sprayed or poured directly onto the surface. Cleaning cloths should be wrung of excess liquid prior to using on device surfaces. Avoid Isopropyl alcohol at concentrations greater than 70% and non-diluted bleach or ammonia solutions. The use of incorrect solutions can result in visual impairment of touchscreen, discoloration, and damage functionality. Do not use any cleaning agents that are labeled as corrosive or abrasive to glass or plastic. This includes solvents (Like Formula 409), acids, ammonia, and any cleaning agents containing an abrasive. Do not wipe or scrape any surface of the device with anything abrasive (i.e. steel wool, cloth with steel threads, scrubbing [...]

New PoE testing equipment gives manufacturers of Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) cost-effective, high-throughput tools for the production test of PoE power functionality. Reach Technology (reachtech.com), a company that makes PoE Test Equipment specially designed for manufacturers of Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), today announced the release of the PoE5. Reach Technology designed its latest unit to support the new IEEE 802.3bt Power-over-Ethernet standard to test Ethernet switches, Power over HDBaseT (PoH), and LED lighting controllers. The PoE5 allows PSE manufacturers to do a quick, thorough final test before shipping. The PoE5 tests all ports at full power with no duty cycle limitations and does a datapath loopback at the full 10G rate for complete power and data integrity testing. “The new power standard cements PoE as the power distribution technology of choice for under 100W intelligent devices. Power has long been more reliable than data, and if PoE is to grow as [...]
