PoE Switch

Power over Ethernet (PoE) refers to various standards or informal systems that transmit electrical power alongside data over twisted-pair Ethernet cables. This enables a single cable to deliver both a data connection and sufficient power to operate networked devices, including wireless access points (WAPs), IP cameras, and VoIP phones.

What is the purpose of having a PoE switch?

Standard switches: Standard switches are unable to provide power to end devices via Ethernet, necessitating the use of extra Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and extension cables.

PoE Switches: PoE switches reduce the need for cables and simplify operations by cutting costs on power outlets, infrastructure devices, and electrical installation.

No Fuss: Make the setup easier and enhance the rollout—electricians are not necessary.

Cost-Efficiency: There’s no requirement for extra cables and power adapters—lower infrastructure expenses.

Flexibility: Additional placement options enable implementation in intricate environments.

Power Management: Smartly guards your devices against power surges and optimizes power consumption.
