Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows for installation of remote or outside equipment without having to connect to AC power. This allows power to be delivered to more areas without the need to install additional electrical infrastructure or to have power outlets at every endpoint. Equipment can be installed without the need for an electrician and because ethernet cable costs less and is often already installed in buildings, PoE-based systems are far more cost-effective and efficient.
What are the benefits of PoE?
PoE benefits organizations in 5 primary ways—reduced installation costs, installation safety, responsive deployments, data-gathering capabilities, and productivity enhancements. End users can plug PoE capable devices into existing networks or start from scratch with ease.
What devices use PoE?
The devices using PoE to receive data and power known are smart technologies. Those found in the Internet of Things (IoT). A list of examples follows. Keep in mind this list keeps expanding as more people adopt PoE and manufacturers continue to prioritize development of these products.
