PoE Installation
This innovation simplifies the installation of networked devices, making it a popular choice for modern commercial buildings and large residential projects. PoE eliminates the need for separate power and data cables, reducing the amount of wiring required. This streamlined setup saves time and labor costs during installation, particularly in challenging environments or retrofit projects.


PoE Standards and Compatibility
PoE technology is governed by several standards, ensuring compatibility and performance across different devices:
IEEE 802.3af (PoE): Provides up to 15.4 watts of power, suitable for devices like VoIP phones and simple IP cameras.
IEEE 802.3at (PoE+): Delivers up to 30 watts of power, supporting more demanding devices such as PTZ cameras and advanced WAPs.
IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++): Offers up to 60 or 100 watts of power, enabling the use of power-hungry devices like LED lighting systems and high-performance networking equipment.
