Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Power & Charging

Delivering electrical power alongside data over standard Ethernet cables.

PoE eliminates the need for separate power cables for devices like IP cameras, access points, and VoIP phones. IEEE 802.3af provides 15.4W, 802.3at (PoE+) provides 30W, and 802.3bt (PoE++) provides up to 100W per port.
