Since the invention of power over Ethernet (POE) switches in 2003, technology has advanced significantly. In response to the expanding IoT market, the first generation 802.3af POE switch adapter was created, simplifying and lowering the cost of system design.
Work of POE Switches
A POE switch has the ability to power devices across network wires since it has the Power over Ethernet feature built into it. This functionality enables it to transport speech, data, and electrical power across devices using a single Ethernet cable. Devices can still communicate with one another even when they are remote from a power supply. Because there is no need to run cables or create power outlets, using POE simplifies device installation while at the same time lowering expenses. The switches employ a safe, lower-than-mains voltage, but installation must be done carefully to protect equipment not made for POE from damage.
POE, POE+, and POE++
The amount of power delivered is the primary distinction between POE (IEEE 802.3af standard) and POE+ (802.3at). POE+ can deliver up to 30 watts over Cat5 cables with 25.5 watts available to devices, compared to POE's 15.4 watts over the same medium.
A POE switch can handle maximum power usage of 15.4W per port at voltages between 44V and 57V. The connected PDs' voltage, however, ranges from 37V to 57V.
- Meters, such as those used to measure solar energy or inside temperatures, may typically be utilized with standard POE.
- Simple VOIP phones that use the public internet.
- Small Stock Positioning Monitor with wireless access points.
- Security cameras that are fixed and do not pan, tilt, or zoom.
- Switches for basic lighting systems, cameras, pool pumps, and small digital signs.
- Loudspeakers and other powered step counter bracelets.
