DEMAND FOR POWER OVER ETHERNET (POE)
Applications for PoE grow as the technology and standards advance
Why PoE?
• Simplicity - Eliminating the need for separate data and
power cables, PoE can be installed quickly and simply.
• Cost savings - PoE eliminates the need to pull
electrical to inaccessible locations.
• Intelligent device control - PoE allows you to manage
Retail POS the amount of power delivered to remove devices.
Smart LED lighting
• Future-proofing - PoE addresses network capacity
planning for both speed-based performance and to
power network devices.
• Industry standards - PoE technology has progressed
with the introduction of the IEEE 802.3bt standard. This
new standard allows switches and powered devices to
operate above 30 Watts of PoE per port and support up
to 60 and even 90 Watts of PoE per port.
