Simple solution to power problems: Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows electrical equipment to be installed even in areas without a power socket. The trick: Power is distributed via the local data network cables and now over greater distances.
Just two of the options provided by Power over Ethernet (PoE) is to connect the webcam of an alarm system or an IP telephone without an extra power source. The technology allows power to be supplied to devices via a network cable.
Distances over hundred metres can be used with Power over Ethernet. The INT 560962 extender/repeater allows extension by a further 100 metres. To do so, up to four repeaters can be combined, which then provide a power supply via a maximum of 500 metres.
Prerequisites for Power over Ethernet
The power supply also works with WiFi access points, small servers or switches. Even small displays can be operated in this way, such as info screens on a shop shelf.
Prerequisite: The devices must be PoE-ready. This means that they recognize the IEEE standard 802.3af, either as an energy supplier or energy user. The supply voltage is 48 V, maximum power output 15.4 W. Power is then routed via the wires of a network cable up to 100 metres in length.
Power is only transmitted at the required capacity if a PoE device is detected. If it is switched off or disconnected from the network, the in-feed device automatically switches off the supply.
