What PoE is and what it changes in an installation
PoE stands for Power over Ethernet: power and data through compatible Ethernet cabling.
What the image shows
PoE stands for Power over Ethernet: power and data through compatible Ethernet cabling.
How to interpret it
It can simplify device deployment by reducing the need for a power outlet beside each device. It does not eliminate power planning or cabling limits.
What to check before installation
Before installation, check compatibility, consumption, switch capacity and cable characteristics. Do not assume that an output labeled passive PoE provides the same detection and negotiation as an IEEE-compliant solution.
