Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Switch
Power Over Ethernet (POE) Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an established technology that extends the capabilities of Ethernet signaling by providing low-voltage direct current (DC) power delivery to network devices over the same wires that currently carry data. Benefits and Capabilities of PoE PoE offers two benefits that are consistent across applications: cost savings and flexibility of device placement. Because PoE runs data and power together over the same cable to each device attached to the local area network (LAN), devices can be installed without concern for the proximity to individual AC outlets. This saves money by eliminating the cost and time associated with AC outlet installations while providing the flexibility to locate PoE devices where performance is optimum. Additional benefits of PoE include manageability of power sources and battery backups to protect against outages and power spikes. By using a cen
