7.7.1 Power over Ethernet (PoE)

The Ethernet/LAN-port (#7) of the SCB-12 includes Power over

Ethernet (PoE) functionality.

Power over Ethernet is a popular way of saving cables and installa-

tion costs.

The SCB-12 is compatible with PoE power injectors or PoE switch-

es (according to the IEEE 802.3af™-2003 industry standard). The

supplied Voltage (in the range between 36 and 57V) will be added

to a CAT-5 (or higher) Ethernet cable and the camera can receive

power via the Ethernet/LAN-cable. A switch mode power supply in

the camera converts the power to 12V.

When selecting a PoE-adapter for the SCB-12 it is very important

that the adapter complies with the IEEE 802.3af™-2003 industry

standard. Before this standard was introduced, many incompatible

PoE-systems were available on the market. Some of these units

with different PoE standards are not compatible with the SCB-12

and may have damaging effects!

The "power classification" of the SCB-12 is "Class 0 (0.44 to

12.95W)".
