U.S.-manufactured LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA meets the new 55% domestic content threshold and ships now, while a 100W PoE++ model is available for pre-order.
Antaira Technologies announced that its LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA Managed Gigabit Ethernet Switch complies with Phase 2 of the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, which took effect October 1, 2026. Manufactured in the United States, the switch is available now for federally funded infrastructure projects.
The company also announced the upcoming LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T-BABA, a BABA-compliant industrial Ethernet switch featuring up to 100W per port of IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ power. Production is scheduled for Q1 2027, and pre-orders are being accepted.
Meeting BABA Phase 2 Requirements
The BABA Act establishes domestic content requirements for infrastructure projects receiving federal financial assistance. Under Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requirements, the domestic share of component costs for manufactured products increased to 55% on October 1, 2026.
The LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA meets this threshold, with at least 55% of its component costs attributable to materials mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States.
The launch marks another milestone in Antaira’s BABA initiative, which began in 2025 with the introduction of the LMX-1204G-SFP-T-BABA and the expansion of the company’s U.S. manufacturing operations.

High-Power PoE++ Switch Coming in Q1 2027
The upcoming LMP-1204G-SFP-bt-24-T-BABA extends BABA-compliant industrial networking to high-power Power over Ethernet applications. It delivers both data and power to connected edge devices over a single Ethernet cable.
Key specifications include:
- Four IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ ports delivering up to 100W per port.
- Four IEEE 802.3at PoE+ ports delivering up to 30W per port.
- Four Gigabit SFP slots for fiber connectivity.
- Wide 12–55VDC power input for applications using lower-voltage DC sources, including industrial cabinets, roadside infrastructure, and mobile solar trailers.
The switch is designed to power high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and communications equipment across transportation, security and surveillance, wireless communications, and other industrial networks.
