PoE (Power over Ethernet)
Category: infrastructure
A technology that allows network cables to carry both electrical power and data signals to IP devices simultaneously.
PoE simplifies infrastructure runs significantly. Instead of requiring an electrical technician to mount an outlet next to every ceiling security camera or smart Wi-Fi node, a single standard Cat6 Ethernet line delivers high-velocity data links alongside low-voltage operational power.
Common Examples
- Our security division deployed PoE smart cameras, running all electrical power straight from a centralized network switch unit.
- PoE line runs are highly cost-effective, bypassing the rigid building permitting codes required for standard commercial high-voltage wiring.
