1. Introduction 
 
 
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) eliminates the need to run 110/220 VAC power to other 
devices on a wired LAN. Using Power-over-Ethernet system installers need to run only 
a single CAT5 Ethernet cable that carries both power and data to each device. This 
allows greater flexibility in the locating of network devices and significantly decreasing 
installation costs in many cases. 
 
There are two system components in PoE -- the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) 
initiates the connection to the second component, the Powered Device (PD). The 
current is transmitted over two of the four twisted pairs of wires in a Category-5 cable. 
 
Power over Ethernet follows the IEEE 802.3af and is completely compatible with 
existing Ethernet switches and networked devices. Because the Power Sourcing 
Equipment (PSE) tests whether a networked device is PoE-capable, power is never 
transmitted unless a Powered Device is at other end of the cable. It also continues to 
monitor the channel. If the Powered Device does not draw a minimum current, 
because it has been unplugged or physically turned off, the PSE shuts down the power 
to that port. Optionally, the standard permits Powered Devices to signal to the PSEs 
exactly how much power they need.
