Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network devices like cameras, phones, and access points to receive both data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power supplies or outlets, simplifying installation and reducing clutter. PoE dynamically delivers the appropriate amount of power based on the device’s requirements, ensuring efficient and reliable operation. It’s commonly used in environments where running multiple cables is impractical, providing a clean, cost-effective solution for powering network equipment over existing network infrastructure.
