PoE Switches

Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches are network and communication switches capable of delivering electrical power through Ethernet cables to connected devices. This allows for the power supply and data transmission to PoE-compatible devices, such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE devices, using a single cable. PoE switches are particularly useful in locations where access to power outlets may be limited. They simplify installation and reduce the amount of cabling required.

PoE and PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) are two standards that enable power delivery through Ethernet cables to connected devices. The main difference between the two lies in their power delivery capability.

According to the PoE standard, a network switch can deliver up to 15.4 watts of power to each connected device. This power level is typically sufficient for low-power devices, such as IP cameras and phones.

The PoE+ standard is more advanced and allows for greater power delivery to devices. It can supply up to 30 watts of power per connected device, which is useful for devices such as video workstations and certain wireless access points.

In summary, PoE+ is capable of delivering more power than traditional PoE. This is an important consideration when selecting a switch, and it’s essential to ensure that the chosen power level meets the requirements of the intended application.
