Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)
Empower Your Space: The Rise of PoE for Sustainable, Integrated Connectivity
What is PoE?
PoE, which stands for Power-over-Ethernet, represents a breakthrough in technology. It merges power transmission and data delivery via a single Ethernet cable. With the increasing demand for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Many IoT devices are small and may need their power source, making PoE the perfect solution.
How does PoE work?
PoE is based on the IEEE 802.3af standard, which specifies low-voltage direct current (DC) power over Ethernet cables. This standard allows a maximum of 15.4 watts of DC power to be delivered to a device through a network switch or injector.
For PoE to work, the device must have a PoE-compatible receiver and a powered device (PD) that can convert the DC power into usable energy. The network switch or injector acts as the power source and regulates and delivers the correct amount of power to each connected PD.
How PoE Enables Sustainable Intelligent Buildings (SIB)
Smart buildings leverage Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology to streamline and enhance their functionality. PoE enables both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying infrastructure and reducing wiring needs. This integration facilitates the efficient deployment of IoT devices, sensors, and control systems that monitor and manage building operations like lighting, heating, and security. The reduced cabling and centralized power management contribute to energy efficiency, a key aspect of smart building sustainability.
