PoE Lighting and Controls

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) is the centralized Internet of Things (IoT) takes integrations to the next level, and why the advanced technology and integration capabilities make it the premiere choice for smart building integrations. A PoE infrastructure serves as the backbone of the entire system that utilizes apps and software to power connected devices off low voltage Cat5/Cat6 cable.

The Benefits of PoE

Integrating lighting technology and controls via PoE offers a dependable, scalable, and simple IoT platform. The many advantages of PoE include:

Suggest a feature

Financial

Save money on installation. PoE is easier and less expensive to install than other network infrastructure options on the market today. Plus, with drastic (80%+) reductions in energy usage, PoE continues to deliver savings year after year. Over time, these system efficiencies make PoE an excellent investment with a strong ROI.

Better Data

Integration of sensors and other smart building technology provide multiple data points. Plus, PoE allows for previously independent building systems to be integrated. And all of this information can be right at your fingertips, compiled into one easy to use dashboard, making analysis easier than ever.

Integrations and Compatibility

PoE offers a global solution delivering advanced connectivity and universal connectivity compatibility.

More Efficient and More Reliable

PoE doesn’t require LED drivers so it uses wattage more efficiently and is more reliable than its competitors.

More Control

PoE enables two-way communication with individual fixtures, controls, and other smart building integrations.

Adaptable

A PoE network infrastructure doesn’t need to be rewired or retrofitted for future integrations, which makes adapting it for use with future technologies simple and less expensive. It provides companies with flexible options for the future.

Safety

PoE operates at lower voltages, making it a safer option for powering devices. Additionally, it includes built-in safeguards that prevent power overload, underpowering, or device damage.

Environmentally Friendly

PoE is a green initiative that can reduce energy consumption and a building’s carbon footprint to decrease an organization’s impact on the environment.

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.
