This technology has two advantages.
◗
It provides a more practical, economical supply for the connected equipment.
◗
The supply to the whole installation can be protected centrally directly from
the distribution panel.
Power over Ethernet can be installed in two ways.
◗
Using a PoE midspan system
◗
Using PoE Ethernet switches
Both solutions comply with IEEE 802.3af which ensures
interoperability between various terminal suppliers.

Enterprise IT networks are
undergoing major changes.
One of these developments is
Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone
technology which requires the
same availability and voice
quality as conventional
telephones.
In addition, Power over
Ethernet (PoE) technology can
be used to supply IP network
equipment such as IP
telephones and WiFi access
points using the existing local
network cables.
