PoE (Power Over Ethernet) refers to the transmission of data signals for IP-based terminals (e.g. IP telephones, WLAN access point SAPs, network cameras, etc.) without any changes to the existing Ethernet Cat.5 cabling infrastructure. It also provides DC-powered technology for those devices.

 

Main Features of PoE switch

Cost-saving

 

Easy to use and convenient for maintenance

 

Web-management optional

 

Secure to use

 

Composition: PSE and PD

 

Connecting way: Mid-span and End-span

The Classification of PoE Switch

1. Standard PoE Switch

 

Standard PoE switch is also well-known as a 48V switch; they are compatible with IEEE802.3af/at. PSE and PD are 2 essential parts in a complete PoE system. POE switch is one kind of PSE device. Generally speaking, PSE works as the administrator and PD is the ending device that is to be powered.

 

2. Non-standard PoE Switch

 

Non-standard PoE switch is known as 24V POE. There is no auto-detection before the power supply. So there is a risk of burning. It has been gradually replaced by 48V standard POE.
