Why Use PoE?

Specifying Power over Ethernet brings many advantages to an installation:

Time and cost savings - by reducing the time and expense of having electrical power

cabling installed. Network cables do not require a qualified electrician to fit them, and

can be located anywhere.

Flexibility - without being tethered to an electrical outlet, devices such as IP cameras

and wireless access points can be located wherever they are needed most, and

repositioned easily if required.

Safety - POE delivery is intelligent, and designed to protect network equipment from

overload, underpowering, or incorrect installation.

Reliability - POE power comes from a central and universally compatible source, rather

than a collection of distributed wall adapters. It can be backed-up by an uninterruptible

power supply, or controlled to easily disable or reset devices.

Scalability - having power available on the network means that installation and

distribution of network connections is simple and effective

How to Upgrade to POE

Adding POE to your network is straightforward, and there are two routes you can

choose:

A POE switch is a network switch that has Power over Ethernet injection built-

in. Simply connect other network devices to the switch as normal, and the switch will

detect whether they are POE-compatible and enable power automatically.

POE switches are available to suit all applications, from low-cost unmanaged edge

switcheswith a few ports, up to complex multi-port rack-mounted units with

sophisticated management.
