1.2.9 POE
PoE or Power over Ethernet is an IEEE standard used to pass electrical power along with data over
standard Ethernet Cable. Utilising 2 of the 4 pairs of an Ethernet Cable PoE provides up to 15.4W
(IEEE 802.3af) or 25.5W (IEEE 802.3at) of power. PoE is used to power devices such as IP Phones,
Wireless Access Points and IP Cameras. Being able to use a single cable to run both data and power
saves in cabling costs, helps unclutter messy cables on your desk and is perfect for those
environments where a power point is not able to be installed where your Ethernet equipment is
needed.
The APS Series switches are IEEE 802.3at compliant and can supply up to 25.5W per port.
Advanced features such as PoE Power scheduling, PoE priority and having the ability to allocate a
particular amount of power per port are just some of the features that the APS series support.
