As PoE technology has developed, the amount of power that can be sent over Ethernet cable has increased. IEEE-compliant PoE switches and injectors can output anywhere from 12 watts to over 70 watts of power per port. Here are the names and power outputs that PoE offers. Show
Powered Device (PD)Any network device that is powered by PoE is referred to as a powered device, or PD. Wireless access points, IP security cameras and VoIP phones are common examples. The rise of the more powerful IEEE 802.3bt standard has paved the way for more power-hungry applications such as PoE LED lighting and High-Speed HD Outdoor PoE network cameras with climate control. Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE)PSE devices send power and data over the Ethernet cable to a connected PD. PSE devices are classified as either “midspan” or “endspan.”
